I recently had a discussion with Jay on a different thread about the use of Flourish, Flourish 'Iron' and Flourish 'Trace'.

I'm going to start by saying recent experiences congealed in my head never to support the giant corporate pet stores. But out of urgency and convenience, as the small LFS stores here do not carry many ferts, I begrudgingly made a trip to Petsmart who surprisingly had what I was looking for.
I picked up a bottle of Seachem Flourish and right next to it was a bottle of Seachem Flourish 'Iron' currently "priced for clearance" at $2.33 originally $8.50. I'm not sure if this is a national trend in Petsmart to clear this product, but it rang up correctly when they scanned the bar code. I wish they had more than one bottle, but i picked up the last one in the Seattle location.
If anyone is interested in giving the Flourish 'Iron' a try, in conjunction with Flourish, it might be worth a trip to a nearby Petsmart to give it a trial run with minimum cost.
Knowing the way retail/package stores work, I can assure you that they purchased this product wholesale from Seachem for about $4-$6. So, if you buy only this clearance product from them, you will be 'sticking it to the man'.
My chain sword had spawned about 7 new swords, but the baby plants are a bit yellow and have stopped growing in the last 2 weeks. I'm going to give Seachem Iron a try and let you all know...
