TheReef® - Iodine

A concentrated liquid iodine supplement for saltwater aquaria

Description

Iodine can help maintain coral health and colouration, helping to prevent coral bleaching and being utilised by coral pigments. TheReef® Iodine liquid supplement is made from a blend of chemically pure salts containing iodine, iodate and iodide ions - the forms of iodine most readily taken up by marine organisms. This combination of three forms of iodine works as a timed release mechanism as they become bio-available at different points, helping to spread out the impact of dosing over a more extended period than supplements based on a single form. TheReef® Iodine also provides aquarists with exceptional value for money compared to other brands, offering an unbeatable combination of performance for price.*

Guidance

As a general maintenance dose for reef aquaria we suggest adding 1ml of supplement per 100 litres of aquarium water daily.

If seeking to raise iodine to a specific level then you can increase dosing to a maximum of 5ml per 100 litres a day, testing regularly. (1ml contains around 10mg of iodine).

Note: It is normal for iodine levels to change rapidly over a few days due to a combination of utilisation by marine organisms and chemical or physical depletion. The rate at which this happens will vary from system to system so you should adjust suggested dosing levels accordingly, taking due account of any coral reactions.
