Aquaforest Iodum 10 ml Supplement that contains concentrated iodine
This supplement contains concentrated iodine, which is essential for marine aquariums. Iodine plays a vital role in the overall functioning of cells and helps with the transfer of nutrients among them. Since tank inhabitants continuously consume iodine, it is important to supplement it to prevent levels from dropping too quickly.
Iodine is particularly important for corals as they use it to synthesize pigments that help them adapt to changing lighting conditions. This also protects their delicate tissues from harmful UV radiation. Additionally, Iodum enhances the dark blue and purple colors of hard corals, making them more vibrant.
Maintaining the right iodine levels in your seawater tank is also beneficial for shrimp, as it supports their molting process. By regularly dosing Iodum, you can keep the iodine content consistent with that found in natural seawater.
