Re: Another Update
A few years ago I when was experimenting with iron,I was dosing up to three times the amount recomended per week.The only thing I noticed was an orange build up under the rocks in the DT.I never could get a reading with a test kit,but it was only a cheapy kit.
If it is just precipitating to the rock/sand,which is more likely than not,couldn't you use this to your advantage?I mean that if it presipitates so fast,why not inject it into the sand and allow it to build up(presipitate) there,under the sand,where the rhyzomes/roots are at?I would think that the iron can still be utilized by the grass.Instead of allowing it to go anywhere in the water column too be presipitated out.

iron Dosing:
This one is more of a challenge to determine. I am currently adding 50 drops of the 10% solution--a much higher dose than Sarah recommends. Shortly after dosing this raises the iron to a detectable level on my scale, but still below the lowest reading, which is 0.05ppm. By the next morning the reading is always undetectable on the scale. I have no idea what this means or how to interpret it.
