Iodum Lab 1L

Iodum Lab from Aquaforest is a trace-element supplement for reef aquarists who dose by test results and need iodine kept within a defined range. It is aimed at keepers whose corals show weak or fading blue and purple coloration, and who want to maintain a stable iodine level instead of making large corrections.

Why it matters

• Corals use iodine to synthesise pigments that help them adjust to changing light conditions and protect their tissues from UV radiation.
• The product is formulated to intensify dark blue and purple coloration in corals.
• Each 10 ml raises iodine by 0.1 mg/l per 100 litres of water, so the dose can be scaled to the tank volume.
• The manufacturer's recommended level is 0.055–0.07 mg/l, with a daily dose of 1 ml per 100 litres.

What it works with

The product is intended for saltwater reef aquariums with corals, where iodine is one of the elements maintained through regular dosing. Because the dose is calculated per 100 litres, the daily amount depends on the total water volume and should be checked against a test result before use. It is best combined with a routine water-testing schedule and other Aquaforest Lab trace elements when several parameters need correction.
