Wondering if people have had experience with this Red Sea product?

I’ve been using Part C Iron+ because one of my tanks was low on iron and I did notice an increase in green color across the various frags I have. I’ve talked to a fellow hobbyist who said he’s got a friend that swears by this product, and the hobbyist has seen that personal’s tank which looked awesome.

The dosing instructions for Part C was interesting, perhaps concerning. It’s supposed to be dosed by calcium consumption but it’s in the realm of ppm while natural sea water is in ppb. That means it’s 1000x amount of iron than natural sea water. It’s so high that Red Sea’s iron test kit can pick it up while normally iron is so low in tanks that even ICP-MS has a hard time registering a reliable number.

I have not looked into the other Trace color parts but I’m thinking of trying. So if anyone has experience using them please share 🙇‍♂️
 
Used it for however long the 4 pack kit lasted. Noticed zero effects. Didn’t have any problems to start with. But also nothing became better or worse. Just did zilch for me
 
I think I've heard good things about this product. Have you done anything yet?
Yes I have been dosing Trace Color C Iron+. I do notice the green corals have become greener which fits the product's claims. Haven't tried the other ones yet
