So, periodically I'll get into dosing something to see some kind of reaction and want to look at dosing some iron again. I've used Iron gluconate previously from supplement tablets and Seachem's Flourish iron.
This time I wanted to make my own and was going to make up some iron(II) citrate.

But then I thought I can also make my own ferrous sulfate too.

Does the acid level in the end product mater or should I try and reduce the H2SO4 content with a higher pH solution which would lead to more oxidation?
