I have been seeing all about the dry ferts and how to dose them. but they don't really mention about dosing dry iron. I have some high demanding plants that need iron. So how do u dose dry iron?

Nice tank. If you do Iron Chelate for that tank I recommend around 1/4 - 1/2 half a paper match head every 2-3 weeks to begin and you can adjust your level from there. It's a fairly long process and you have to monitor your algae level very closely. As soon as you notice abnormal alga or and increase in alga "CUT IT WAY BACK"! Trust me on that one.
