Supplements with concentrated iodine. In marine aquariums, iodine is crucial for general cell function and the transfer of nutrients between cells. Iodine is constantly consumed by the aquarium inhabitants, so its level drops quickly without supplementation. Iodine is used by corals to synthesize pigments that allow them to adapt to variable light conditions and protect the delicate coral tissue from UV radiation. Iodine intensifies the dark blue and purple coloring of stony corals. Adequate iodine levels in the marine tank support shrimp molting. Regular dosing of Jodum keeps the iodine level at the same level as in natural seawater.
Dosage:
10 ml of the product increases the iodine content by 0.1 mg/l (ppm) in 100 liters of water.
The recommended level of iodine in aquarium water is 0.055 - 0.07 mg/l (ppm). Recommended dosage: 1 ml/100 l of water daily. The dosage should be based on the consumption of microelements. Note that each aquarium is different and the final dosage depends on the coral population and the individual needs of the aquarium. Both a deficiency and an excess of micronutrients affect the aquarium inhabitants, so the dosage should be selected and adjusted based on regular water tests in the Aquaforest laboratory.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:
- Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
- They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
- Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
- Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
- The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
- To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
- Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
- Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
- The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
- In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
