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 beneļ¬cial, but maintenance at elevated concentrations should be considered experimental.
The innovative MultiTestā¢ 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.
