REEF IODIDE 4L

Reef Iodide Seachem 4 L – Stabilized Iodide for Reef Aquarium

Iodide is an essential element for many marine invertebrates and soft corals such as gorgonians, sarcophytons, and other soft tissue species. Reef Iodide provides a concentrated source of stabilized potassium iodide, formulated to remain in a bioavailable iodide form in the reef environment.

Unlike free iodine, which is as toxic as chlorine, iodide is a safe and assimilable form. Reef Iodide is designed not to convert into toxic elemental iodine or unusable iodate, both during storage and in the aquarium.

Many competing products use iodine solutions or Lugol-type solutions, initially designed as medical disinfectants. These solutions are highly concentrated and pose a significant risk to corals and invertebrates. Reef Iodide takes a different approach, focused on stability and biological safety.

Main Features

Recommended Use

Reef Iodide is intended for reef aquariums containing soft corals and invertebrates sensitive to trace element balance. Iodide levels naturally decrease over time due to biological usage and chemical reactions, making regular supplementation necessary.

Dosage

The recommended target concentration is between 0.06 and 0.08 mg/L, measured 6 to 12 hours after addition. Dosage can be adjusted based on coral consumption and response.

Control and Adjustment

It is normal for iodide levels to decrease after a few days. This decrease results from biological absorption and chemical depletion. Therefore, the frequency and quantity of addition may vary according to each reef aquarium.

For precise monitoring, using an iodine and iodide test is recommended to avoid overdosing.
