Trade pack (each trade pack contains 2 x IODINE 250ml)

Iodine is one of the most important elements in a saltwater aquarium. It is essential for the thyroid function of fish and is enriched by many other organisms in the tissues.

This includes, among others, corals, sponges, shells and algae.

Analyzing natural seawater we observe an average concentration of 0.06 mg/l, this value puts iodine in oligoelements category. Although the extremely low concentration in relation to other elements, iodine is fundamental in lots of cellular processes for fish and corals, furthermore it enhances blue and violet colours on acropora corals. The dosage of iodine should be performed very carefully since concentrations above 0.1mg/l can cause damages to the reef aquarium, in particular its harmful to bacteria.

The function of iodine in each organism is not yet adequately investigated, however, a higher consumption of iodine shows in brightly lit aquariums. Iodine is also suspected in the intensify blue coloring of corals of the genus Acropora.

Iodine is consumed in the aquarium relatively quickly. Therefore, Iodine concentration should be regularly reviewed in the laboratory. Whilst Oceamo Regulators A and O will provide all your trace element needs, but sometimes targeted compensation is needed and best with our high purity Oceamo iodine supplement.

1 ml of the supplement increases the iodine concentration of 100 litres by 50 µg/l
