Iodine plays in the hormonal balance of marine animals a major role. Crustaceans e.g. can not easily skin without sufficient iodine concentration. If you have a lot of macro algae (e.g. Halimedia, Caulerpa or many brown algae) or anemones in your aquarium or if you filter with an algae filter or refugium with lots of large algae, the algae can quickly use up all the iodine of the water. In this case iodine should regularly supplied from the aquarist.
Especially with the use of activated carbon iodine has to be added, because all activated carbons adsorb quickly iodine.

10 ml per 100 litres and week.
If lots of green algae grow reduce the dose and find other fertilizing substances like nitrate and phosphate and find a way to reduce them to an adequate level.
The natural iodine concentration in reefs is about 50-80 µg/l.
Test the iodine concentration regularly and change the dosing accordingly.
We recommend a water change of minium 1% per week.
