Whatever brand it is, get those that you dose often, like daily or alternate days coz Lugol's Solution tend to oxidize quickly and disappear from your reef within a day or 2 if not absorbed.

Another thing is if you miss a dose do not double the dose the next time. Just dose the normal dosage. Overdosing of Lugol's solution is bad for the reef.

Agreed, read up at RC on Mr Randy topic on lugols. It is acctually very harmful for your reef tanks should it be overdose.

not necessarily true on the fact that u'll hv to get those lugol's solution that u dose often. it really depends on how concentrated it is. This is what WMR Lugol's Plus claims:

Lugol's Plus Iodine Solution has been developed from day one as the best Iodine supplement available and offers these features:

Safer to use than Lugol's Solution, less oxidative

Contains more total Iodide without affecting pH

Contains proprietary Halide Complex with Bromine and Fluorine

More economical, now in a 2oz. glass bottle with eyedropper

I hv used this as the only iodide supplement since i started. no problem with it at all. all my shrimps molted wif no difficulties. i think at the end of the day, it juz boils down to individual preferences, i m a lazy reefer. thus, i prefer weekly dosing.

agree on the point that if you miss a dose do not double the dose the next time. Just dose the normal dosage. Overdosing of Lugol's solution is bad for the reef.
