Iodine of the element ICP of the ATI

Highly pure solution for increasing individual iodine levels in reef aquariums. Ideal for compensating for element deficiencies and for daily element supplementation.

Dosage instructions:

• 1 ml per 100 litres (26 gal) increases the iodine content by 10 μg/l
• Increase iodine by a maximum of 20 μg/l (2 ml/100 l or 2 ml/26 gal) per day
• The bottle contains 1,000,000 μg of iodine

Symptoms of low iodine levels:

• Weaker tissue of Xenia and Zoanthus
• Increased susceptibility of corals to bacterial infections and parasites
• Iodine is involved in the formation of colors (especially blue and violet) – a deficiency results in a washed-out appearance
• Poor molting in shrimp and crabs: iodine is necessary for the synthesis of the molting hormone, ecdysteroid; a deficiency leads to molting problems or death
• Metabolic problems in fish, because iodine is needed in the thyroid

Causes of low iodine levels:

• Biological consumption by corals, macroalgae, and microfauna: brightly lit aquariums with many inhabitants rapidly consume iodine
• No targeted compensation via the two-part system
• Removal by skimming, activated carbon, ozone and UV: iodine is easily removed as a volatile trace element – ​​regular balancing is necessary
