Iodine dip

[ahiggins]

Hey all!
I was wondering if anyone can give me a ratio for an iodine dip for pest prevention and for damage tissue dip for zoas.
Mostly I want to rescue zoas that are having a suspected bacterial/fungus issue. Leaning more towards bacterial.
Thanks!!

40 drops per gallon of water :) at least I think that's the recommendation from Lugol's.

One bit of advice. I have never had any luck with pest prevention from iodine. I've personally seen pods, bristle worms, and asterina stars sits completely content in up to twice the recommended concentration. You'd probably do as much damage to the coral as you do to the pests in that case. I don't know if others have this problem though, maybe it's just me ;)

Thanks :)
It's more for tissue damage but that's good to know!
