Highly-concentrated, extended activity iodide solution.

• Provides iodide, which is important to hermatypic corals and other invertebrates harboring zooxanthellae, macroalgae, and also to the health of fishes.

• Stronger than most competing products.

• The nature of iodide sources used makes Iodion more effective than standard iodide-solutions.

• Suitable for use by aquarium hobbyists of all skill and experience levels. • Composed of purified water and ultra-high purity materials.

• Formulated by a marine scientist. Technical Background Presence of iodine is vital to hermatypic invertebrates because it is used to detoxify excess oxygen produced by zooxanthellae.

The importance of iodine in a reef aquarium cannot be overstated. Iodine binds rapidly with latent organic material and is passively removed by aggressive protein skimming and the use of organic-adsorption products such as activated carbon and specialty resins.

The combined biological and chemical depletion of iodine necessitate that its concentration be monitored and the aquarium supplemented as needed.

The rate at which iodine is extracted from the water is determined by the stocking density of reef-building livestock, type of lighting, and other biological, physical, and chemical conditions.
