I dose with Lugol's Iodine solution. Be careful as IT IS HIGHLY CONCENTRATED and excessive iodine is toxic to tank inhabitants! Iodine assists in the prevention of bleaching and also aids in the recovery of corals from bleaching.
Inverts and soft corals require iodine which reacts with oxygen to detoxify it thus forming iodate. Moreover, when testing for iodine make sure that it is able to test iodide and iodate as well as those forms of iodine are more common and essential in saltwater for the living organisms overall health! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
