 Reef
Iodide™ 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.
Iodide is an important element required by invertebrates
and many soft corals (gorgonians, sarcophytons, etc).

DIRECTIONS:
Please note that each cap thread is approximately
1 mL, full cap is 5 mL. BEGINNER: Add 5 mL (1
capful) for each 200 L (50 gallons*) every other
day. ADVANCED: Add 1 mL for each 80 L (20 gallons*)
daily to raise iodide by 0.10 mg/L. If
necessary, adjust amount so that iodide reads
0.06–0.08 mg/L 6–12 hours after
the last amount. Thereafter, use this amount
daily and check iodide twice a month. EXPERT:
After determining the iodide consumption rate,
set up a continuous drip system. Use the following
formula to determine how much to add to your
top-off water: m=0.5vi (m=mL of product to add
to top off water, v=volume of tank in gallons*,
i=amount to raise iodide in mg/L). For example,
if you want to raise iodide by 0.10 mg/L in
a 50 gallon* tank, then you would add 0.5x50x0.10=2.5 mL
into the top-off water. HINTS: It is normal
for iodide levels to decline after a few days.
This results from utilization and chemical depletion.
Therefore, frequency of use will vary with different
reef tanks. Dosing can be adjusted based on
coral response. To check iodide levels use Seachem’s
MultiTest: Iodine & Iodide™ test kit.
