BACKGROUND:
I have a chaeto tumbler but my growth has stalled. I decided to purchase the giesemann iron test. My first iron test result was a big, fat ZERO.
WHAT I DID:
I followed Randy's recipe for ferrous gluconate, only using ferrous fumarate. I was a little more generous, bc it was at zero.
RESULT/QUESTION:
24 hours later the test still reads zero. Is it being consumed that fast by the chaeto? Does ferrous fumarate not show up on a test? Is human error the most likely?
