Reef Iodide\u2122 is a concentrated (8,000 mg\/L) stabilized potassium iodide source for reef aquaria that will restore and maintain iodide levels to those found in natural sea water. It is formulated to provide a safe source of iodide that will not convert to toxic free iodine under storage or reef conditions. Iodine is as toxic as chlorine and should never be used in a reef system. However, iodide is as safe as chloride.<\/p>\n<p>Most iodine supplements on the market are simply potassium iodide or a medicinal disinfectant commonly known as Lugol\u2019s Solution. Lugol\u2019s is a highly concentrated iodine\/iodide solution that is highly toxic and intended for disinfection. Although such products are sold for use in reef aquaria, we believe the risks vastly outweigh the potential minor benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Reef Iodide\u2122 is formulated to provide a safe source of iodide that will not convert to toxic free iodine under storage or reef conditions<\/p>\n<h2>Key Benefits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Stabilized potassium iodide source<\/li>\n<li>Safe and easy to use<\/li>\n<li>Important for soft tissue growth<\/li>\n<li>Directions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions and Care<\/h2>\n<p>Add 5 mL (1 capful) for each 200 L (US 50 gallons) every other day.<\/p>\n<p>Add 1 mL for each 80 L (20 US gallons) daily to raise iodide by 0.10 mg\/L. If necessary, adjust amount so that iodide reads 0.06\u20130.08 mg\/L 6\u201312 hours after the last amount. Thereafter, use this amount daily and check iodide twice a month.<\/p>\n<p>After determining the iodide consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage Calculator) to determine how much 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. [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 L].<\/p>\n<h2>Storage and Safety<\/h2>\n<p>Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
