<p>With that in mind, I went to Sylvia's online store and bought some of the MaxiCrop Liquid Seaweed with Iron along with an Aquarium Test Kit since I ran out of the supplies for mine.</p>
<p>Hopefully it will get here quickly. I'm really interested to see my ammonia/nitrite/ate levels since a couple days ago the nitrites just spiked. It'll be interesting to see how long the cycling takes to complete. Grow bacteria, grow!!!</p>

Aron dont use the sulphur iron mix. That is a soil additive for loosening up clay soils and the sulphur is way to high. You can buy iron in the pure form on the net. I get iron from my agro chemical supply house out here. Be careful.

In my part of the world, pure chelated iron is found in nursery supply stores as a plant micro-nutrient supplement together with all the other fertilizers and additives. Is it not easily available in the same form over in the US?

Can't speak the fishies but I worry a bit about too much sulfur for the plants. It is a micronutrient that plants need in small amounts, but it can definitely become toxic if it is in too high a concentration in a hydroponic solution. This has a little bit on it <a href="http://www.hydroponicsbc.com/nutrients.html">http://www.hydroponicsbc.com/nutrients.html</a>. Could be fine, but just something to keep an eye on...
