Salifert Iodine Profi Test Kit – Accurate Total Iodine Measurement
Measure All Naturally Occurring Iodine Species in Your Aquarium
Iodine is a crucial trace element in natural seawater (NSW), present at very low concentrations (~0.06 mg/L or 0.06 ppm). It exists in multiple forms such as iodide, iodate, molecular iodine, and hypoiodite. Unlike many hobbyist misconceptions, iodate predominates in natural seawater, not iodide.
The Salifert Iodine Profi Test Kit uniquely measures all naturally occurring iodine species—including iodate, iodide, molecular iodine, and hypoiodite—providing an accurate total iodine reading for your marine aquarium. This is vital as iodine species can interconvert in the aquarium environment, and test kits unable to detect iodate often yield falsely low iodine readings.
Salifert’s advanced formulation and highly concentrated Natural-Iodine additive, which contains mostly iodate and some iodide, helps maintain ideal iodine balance for healthy marine life.
