Going Through the Chemicals - Kent's Marine Iodide

Among the chemicals I received was "Kents Marine Iodide".

From the manufacturer -
Iodide Supplement for Reef Aquariums.  KENT MARINE IODIDE replaces iodide needed for proper growth and health of invertebrates and macro-algae. Contains a safe form of iodide, which will not destroy system bacteria.
Directions - Shake well before using. Add 5ml (1 tsp) per 50 gallons of tank capacity every week or 8 drops per 50 gallons each day. Daily dosing is the preferred method.
From The Reef Tank boards -
  • its in your salt mix and most foods
  • Iodine is often (and historically) sourced from marine algae/kelp... so the only thing you will be feeding is the algae.
  • Once again, if you do not test for it, do not dose it.
  • Makes for a great coral dip!
So this bottle will go with the acclimation equipment...
