Iodine Dip

[Bosco83]

I bought the only Iodine I could find at my lfs but I'm not sure it is the right stuff. Here is a link to what I got http://www.kentmarine.com/products/kent-iodide.htm Will this work for an iodine dip if so how much should I add?

Thanks,
Brian

Bosco i think you got the wrong stuff because the link is for IODIDE which is a supplement people will add into their tanks and that is different then Iodine which is commonly used for dips.

Seachem makes a product called "Reef Dip, coral disinfectant"...its a concentrated Iodine solution.

Most people who do freshwater dips for zoanthid eating preditors use a Lugols Iodine.

Nice I can't believe I didn't catch that lol. Ok well I will just order some online or get the seachem product that Jag said would work.

So should I even use that Iodide stuff to dose my tank?

Thanks everyone,
Brian

The store I bought it from is closing down so I don't think they allow any returns but I didn't pay that much for it anyway.
