150ml bottle

IMPORTANT NOTE: Iodine dosing is quite safe, however in high doses is toxic for all animals and will kill them. Do not overdose and ensure adequate levels by regularly testing.

Iron

Iron is an essential micronutrient for marine life, necessary for processes like photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen fixation and DNA synthesis. In seawater it is pivotal for the health and functioning of a wide array of marine species.
