Hi everyone,
The instruction booklet for my iron test kit (Nutrafin/Hagen) has been destroyed by water damage.
Could someone kindly post the instructions?
Thanks,
Rosemary

Free Iron (Toxic) : 0 to 0.1 is ideal, any more and a water change is suggested.
Chelated Iron (for planted aquariums):
0 to 0.25 mg/L is too low
0.25 to 0.5 mg/L is ideal
any higher, partial water change is suggested.

I am paraphrasing all of this, but the amounts are as per the booklet.
