Brightwell Aquatics Lugol's Solution (30 ml)

Brightwell Aquatics Lugol's Solution (30 ml) is a highly concentrated, advanced iodine and iodide supplement specifically formulated for marine reef aquariums. Because it is extremely powerful, it is intended strictly for advanced hobbyists to enhance coral health, coloration, and biological function, or to be used as a targeted coral dip.

Key Benefits & Science

Oxygen Detoxification: Invertebrates harboring zooxanthellae (like corals and clams) produce excess oxygen under intense lighting, which can irritate their sensitive tissues. Iodine bonds with this excess oxygen to form non-toxic iodate, allowing corals to open up fully.
Nutrient Depletion Offset: Rapid protein skimming, activated carbon, and biological uptake quickly deplete natural iodine levels. Lugol's helps replenish these trace elements.
Effective Coral Dip: Functions as a powerful preventative or therapeutic bath for new coral specimens and frags to clean them and prevent tissue infections before introducing them to the main tank.

- Maintenance Aquarium Dosing: To maintain a balanced marine environment, add the product to the aquarium water periodically into a high-flow area according to manufacturer guidelines and measured water parameters.
- Targeted Math: If aiming for a specific parameter adjustment, consult the manufacturer's provided instructions and formulas for proper calculation based on your system volume.
