Aquaforest Iodum

A supplement containing concentrated iodine. In marine aquariums, iodine is crucial for the general cell functioning and the transfer of nutrients between them. Iodine is constantly consumed by tank inhabitants, therefore, without supplementation, its level drops quickly. Iodine is used by corals for synthesizing pigments which allow them to adapt to variable lighting conditions and protect the fragile coral tissues from UV radiation. Iodum intensifies the dark blue and purple coloration of hard corals. Appropriate iodine content in seawater tank supports shrimp molting. A regular dosage of Iodum allows keeping iodine content at the same level as in the natural seawater.
