Salifert Iodine Profi Test Kit
Measures all naturally occurring iodine species such as iodate, iodide, molecular iodine and hypoiodite. No other test kit offers this possibility.
The Salifert Iodine Profi Test Kit is the only test kit on the market that can accurately measure all naturally occurring iodine species in marine aquariums.
This includes iodate, iodide, molecular iodine, and hypoiodite.
Other test kits may only measure iodide, which can give a false low reading of the total iodine concentration.
Iodine is an essential element for marine fish and invertebrates, and it plays a role in many important biological processes, such as osmoregulation, thyroid function, and reproduction.
A deficiency in iodine can lead to a variety of health problems, including goiter, lethargy, and poor growth.
Generally when we say iodine then we mean one or more iodine species without a clear distinction being made.
Natural seawater contains predominantly iodate and to a slight extent iodide.
There is however a misconception among many hobbyists that iodide predominates in natural seawater. This is however false.
