Seachem Reef Iodide - 500 ml

Seachem Reef Iodide is a top of the line source of concentrated (8,000 mg/L) stabilized potassium iodide, which is an essential compound for the growth and development of both invertebrates and many species of soft corals such as gorgonians and sarcophytons. This solution will help to replicate the levels of iodide found in natural seawater and for added safety will not turn into extremely toxic iodine during storage. As well, iodide is the only iodine based compound that is beneficial for corals. Comes in a 500 ml container.

Instructions

Beginner

Add 5 mL (1 capful) for each 200 L (US 50 gallons) of aquarium water every other day.

Advanced

Add 1 mL for each 80 L (20 US gallons) of aquarium ater daily to safely raise the iodide level by 0.10 mg/L. Adjust the amount if necessary so that the iodide level indicates 0.06-0.08 mg/L 6-12 hours after the last amount. Use this amount daily and check iodide twice a month for maintenance.

Expert

After figuring out the iodide consumption rate inside of the aquarium, a continuous drip system can be installed. Use the following formula to determine how much Seachem Reef Iodide to add to your top-off water

m=0.125vi (m=mL of product to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, i=amount to raise iodide in mg/L).

For example, if you want to raise iodide by 0.10 mg/L in a 200 liter tank, then you would add 0.125x200x0.10=2.5 mL into the top-off water.
