Tank inhabitants consume it constantly, so without supplementation the level in a marine aquarium drops quickly. Regular dosing of Iodum allows you to keep iodine at the same level as in natural sea water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated iodine supplement that replaces what the tank's inhabitants use up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorals use iodine to synthesise pigments.
