Iodine Supplement: Essential Trace Element for Reef Aquariums

Maintain vibrant coral color and strong invertebrate health with our premium-grade Iodine supplement. Specially formulated for reef aquariums, this concentrated solution helps replenish iodine levels lost through filtration and biological uptake.

Key Benefits:

• Enhances coral coloration, especially in soft corals and SPS
  
• Supports molting in crustaceans like shrimp and crabs
  
• Promotes tissue growth and healing in corals
  
• Helps maintain a balanced marine environment
  

Safe for all reef inhabitants when used as directed. Regular dosing helps replicate natural seawater conditions and supports overall reef vitality.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Before dosing product, an ICP test should be completed to assess current tank trace element levels and target levels.
2. See dosing calculation below to obtain the dosing amount for your tank based on the current and target levels. 
3. Pick a dosing method (see suggested methods below) and dose accordingly. Dosing should occur in high flow areas, and can be done over a period of time (recommended). 
4. Complete another ICP test in a month to understand trace element depletion levels in your tank and determine how much you should dose to maintain trace levels. 

DOSING CALCULATION

1mL of Iodine solution will raise Iodine levels by 3.5 micrograms in a 100 gallon tank. 50-80 micrograms (μg) is the ideal recommended range.

To adjust for your tank size, you can use the following formula:

Dose (mL) =         Desired Increase (µg/L) × Tank Volume (gal)     
                          Product Strength (µg/L per mL in 100 gal) × 100

Where:

• Tank Volume (gal) = your tank’s real water volume
• Product Strength = 3.5 µg/L per mL in 100 gal

Examples

1. To raise Iodine by +10 µg/L in a 300 gal tank 

• Desired increase = 10 µg/L 
  
• Strength = 3.5 µg/L per 1 mL in 100 gal

$$\text{ DOSE = 10 x 300 = 3000 = 8.57 mL 3.5 × 100 350}$$

      2. To raise Iodine by +10 µg/L in a 50 gal tank 

• Desired increase = 10 µg/L
• Strength = 3.5 µg/L per 1 mL in 100 gal

$$\text{ DOSE = 10 × 50 = 500 = 1.43 mL 3.5 × 100 350}$$

DOSING METHODS:

Recommended Method: Mix the recommended dose into Perfect Corals Complete Tank System to dose with the 2-part solution daily. Each trace element can be added to the corresponding bottle of our Complete Tank System that contains the specific Trace Element for an added boost to your tank supplementation. 

By Hand: Can be dosed directly into your tank by hand in a high flow area, using the included dropper or with a separate measuring tool over a minimum of a 2-3 day period. 

2 Day dosing: Add 2/3 of the total recommended dose on day 1, 1/3 of the recommended dose on day 2 

3 Day dosing: Add 1/3 of the total recommended dose each day for 3 days

Add into Dosing Container: Can be added to a dosing container. To extend the dosing schedule, the product can be mixed with RO/DI water into a dosing container.
