5 Percent Lugol's Solution provides a strong source of free iodine and iodide to reef inhabitants and macroalgae. Although it's very effective when used with stony corals, systems containing xenia and soft corals are particularly benefited by the use of Lugol's Solution. Used as a dip for stony and soft or leather corals, Lugol's will help rid the animals of unwanted parasites and harmful bacteria. This product helps foster improved coloration and prevents bleaching of all corals due to changes in light intensity, and enhances coral polyp expansion. Lugol's Solution provides a key nutrient for marine invertebrates and fishes, and contains no phosphate, nitrate, gluconate, or other sugars.
Directions Add 1 drop per 25 gallons of aquarium capacity weekly to sump or an area of high water flow. Can also be diluted in one cup of aquarium water and administered directly over xenia colonies or soft corals with rigid tubing or a pipette. Do not mix with other supplements outside the aquarium.
Coral Dip In a separate bucket add 40 drops Lugol’s Solution to 1 gallon aquarium water, and immerse coral for 10-15 minutes.
Lugol’s is also called aqueous iodine or strong iodine solution.
