Directions: Basic: Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50
US-gallons (200 L) of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week for the first
three weeks, then reduce the dosage to 1 capful per 100 gallons (half dosage)
subsequently. Do not overdose! Advanced: Dosing through use of a totally
separate drip system is a superior method of addition. Do not mix with any
other products prior to addition. Since test kits will likely not read the
organic iodine in Sustain Iodine, it is recommended that you simply add the
above amount to the doser. In other words, add 1 capful to the amount of
solution that the doser will add in 2 to 4 days per 50 US-gallons (200 L) of
marine aquarium water. If you decide to test the iodine levels, it is
recommended that you maintain from .04 to .06 ppm. Warning: Keep out of reach
of children. Not for human consumption. Contains potassium iodide, free iodine,
and proprietary timed release iodine, if ingested, contact a poison control
center immediately! If in eyes flush with water for 15 minutes, contact a
poison control center.
Model Name: Reef Basis Sustain Iodine
Size: 2-L
Age Range Description: All Stages
Included Components: Reef Basis Sustain Iodine
Specific Uses for Product: Coat
Triple action iodine release system designed to nourish organisms that
require iodine.
Helps all corals and clams retain coloration and encourages growth.
Useful for soft corals including xenia and gorgonians, hard corals,
tunicates, marine worms, macroalgae, and crustaceans including shrimp.
Does not contain gluconate or polygluconate.
Reef Basis Sustain Iodine is a unique, multicomponent iodine release system,
designed to nourish organisms that require iodine. It is particularly useful
for soft corals of all kinds, particularly xenia, as well as gorgonians, hard
corals, tunicates, marine worms such as feather dusters, sponges, macroalgae,
and crustaceans, particularly shrimp. Growth rates in xenia and gorgonians will
likely improve with use. It helps all corals and clams retain their coloration
and shield against strong lighting. Reef Basis Sustian contains no gluconate or
polygluconate. Iodine, while present in better salt mixes, is rapidly removed
through ozone, skimming, carbon and other filtration and used up by
inhabitants. It is necessary, therefore, to supplement it for maximum
invertebrate and algae health, particularly if you have strong lighting. If you
are propagating corals, be sure to use Coral Exponential TM to provide
naturally ratioed amino acids for accelerated tissue growth along with Reef
Basis Calcium, Magnesium, and Strontium to provide proper minerals for
aragonite growth. Also, use Coral Elements N to add vitamins and trace minerals
specifically designed for corals. Continuum recommends that you maintain about
04 to .06 mg/l (ppm) iodide level in your aquarium, if measuring.
