• Marine or Freshwater

Natural seawater (NSW) concentration of iodide is 0.06 mg/L. Ideally, it is advisable to maintain iodide close to NSW concentration. Concentrations above NSW may not be harmful, and, within limits, may even be beneficial, but maintenance at elevated concentrations should be considered experimental.

The innovative MultiTest™ Iodine/Iodide kit offers a quantitative test for this important element of soft and hard coral growth. It measures iodine or iodide to less than 0.005 mg/L. The color scale peaks at 0.10 mg/L. It performs over 75 tests and contains a reference sample for validation.

At Insidereef, we use the Iodine and Iodide MultiTest to monitor iodine levels in our reef tanks, especially when keeping clams. Iodine is essential for the health and growth of clams, corals, and other invertebrates, helping to support their immune systems and overall vitality. Regular testing ensures we maintain optimal levels, preventing deficiencies that could negatively impact our reef ecosystem.

Features

• 75 Tests - MultiTest™ Iodine & Iodide performs over 75 tests And with the multi-cavity test plate, multiple tests can be run at the same time.
• Accuracy Range - Measures between 0–0.1 mg/L iodine or iodide
• Precision - Detectable changes on the color chart in 0.0025–0.005 mg/L increments.
• Reference Sample - It isn't necessary to run a reference test to use this kit; however, its proper performance can be validated by running a test in the normal manner except that the reference sample is used in place of aquarium sample. You might choose to run a reference test if you have cause to believe the test is giving incorrect results.
