Seachem Reef Iodide 500ml

Reef Iodide This concentrated (8,000mg / l), stabilized potassium iodide solution for reeficular aquariums. It allows you to obtain and maintain the level of iodine proper for natural seawater. It is a safe source of this element without releasing it in a free embodiment both during storage and use. Pure iodine is harmful, just like chlorine and can not be added to the aquarium, but as an iodide loses its toxic properties. The iodine in most products available on the market is in the form of potassium iodide or iodine solution in potassium iodide, called Lugola liquid. The substance contains high iodine / iodine concentrations and should only be used for disinfection. The risk of using aquarium preparations containing Lugola fluid exceeds possible benefits. Potassium iodide is safe, but not very effective due to its instability in the aquarium environment. Added to water falls on the poisonous iodine, Jodan (weight for coral, toxic at higher doses and undetectable aquarium tests) and iodide - the only form available for corals. Unlike other products Reef Iodide Includes iodide in stabilized form, which does not fall apart after adding to the aquarium, making it easily absorbed by corals.

How to use:

• Beginner: 5 ml (one nut) for every 200 liters of the tank volume every other day.
• Advanced: 1 ml for every 80 liters of aquarium a per day, which increases the level of iodide by 0.1 mg / l. The dose should be adjusted so that the amount of iodide should be adjusted at an hour after use. 0.06 - 0.08 mg / l. Then a measured amount to serve daily, 2 times a month by measuring the level of iodide.
• Expert: After measuring the pace of use, the element can be served Reef Iodide Using a dosing pump. In the calculation of the amount of the necessary preparation, you may find a pattern: M = 0,125VI, where m = volume of the preparation Reef Iodide, V = volume of the tank in liters, and = planned an increase in the level of iodide. For example: If we want to increase the strontium level by 0.1 mg in a 200 liters tank, use 0.125x200x0.1 = 2.5ml Reef Iodide, adding it to the water intended for pouring in the automatic system.

Tips:

The level of Jodku drops after a few days, which is a normal phenomenon and results from the consumption of it by living organisms. The incidence of adding the preparation may be different in various tanks. Dosage should be adapted to the observed coral reaction.
