Fe dosing

So I noticed I was getting good growth and wild polyp extension when I dosed iron supplement. So I have not dosed it in two weeks and noticed my polyp extension was not so great. Not bad but not like this when I was dosing iron



So I checked tonight and it was pretty low again like 0.05. I added supplement to get around 0.15 and crazy extension again. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

I am getting similar results dosing Aquavitro Fuel. I know it contains iron, but I don't know how much.
