Dosage instructions:
- 1 ml per 100 liters (26 gallons) increases iodine by 10 µg/l
- Do not increase iodine by more than 20 µg/l (2 ml/100 liters or 2 ml/26 gallons) per day
- The bottle contains 1,000,000 µg of iodine
Signs of iodine deficiency:
- Weaker tissue in Xenia and Zoanthus corals
- Higher susceptibility of corals to bacterial infections and parasites
- Iodine contributes to coloration (especially blue and violet); deficiency causes washed-out colors
- Poor molting in shrimps and crabs due to lack of molting hormone ecdysteroid
- Metabolic problems in fish as iodine is essential for thyroid function
Causes of low iodine levels:
- Biological consumption by corals, macroalgae, and microfauna; brightly lit tanks with many inhabitants consume iodine rapidly
- No targeted compensation through two-part dosing systems
- Removal by skimming, activated carbon, ozone, and UV; iodine is volatile and easily lost, so regular balancing is necessary
