- Also functions as an effective coral dip when preparing new specimens 🛡️
- Made in the USA; tightly controlled formulation ✅
Key Features

- Clear, label‑based dosing math for both aquarium dosing and coral dipping

How to Use
- Important: Brightwell notes Lugol’s has been produced in two strengths due to regulations. Follow the strength printed on your bottle label. Always test iodine before and during use.
-
Aquarium dosing (current Brightwell guidance): Each 1 ml raises iodine by ~12 ppm per 1 US‑gal (≈0.6 ppm per drop; 20 drops = 1 ml). Use their EZ math:
gallons × desired ppm increase × 0.07570 = ml
. Example: to raise 0.02 ppm in 100 gal → 100 × 0.02 × 0.07570 ≈ 0.15 ml (~3 drops). Dose in a high‑flow area and re‑test. -
Coral dip (per Brightwell method): Calculate by the strength printed on your label. EZ math:
14.4 ÷ (ppm per gallon on your label) = ml Lugol’s per 1 gal dip
. If your label states 12 ppm/gal, add 1.2 ml per gallon (≈1 dropperful + 4 drops). Dip corals 10–12 minutes; set a timer ⏱️. Rinse in clean tank water before returning to display. - Skimmer & media: Keep protein skimmer running; remove carbon/resins during treatment to avoid rapid removal of iodine.
- Cautions: For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
