Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey guys, remember the Lugol's I found on Ebay? Well, the guy isn't shipping 'til tomorrow and said if I dont' think it will work for me, he will refund me before it ships. Here is what he said about it, this isn't what I want/need, right? " As far as 10%, yes it is a 10% dilution of Concentrated Lugol's original mixture. This is actually Weigerts solution. I mix to 4.1% Iodine and 6.3% KI. The solution is then diluted. You can have all kinds of dilutions of this solution depending on your use. The actual use is for staining, but in the aquarium hobby it has different uses. Many of the uses in the hobby are even controversial, so I cannot really recommend every practice it is used for, there is a demand for it. The directions for using it are on the bottle. It is very strong and many people burn out their reefs using a it at full strength. The reason that it is diluted is to make sure that it is at a reasonable concentration for dosing.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Kris I wish I could advise you. Since I don't use it, I can't offer any help. Good luck. Gail The Ga.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 The aquarium Iodine is weak, so the price is not nearly as good as it first looked. Not a bad product, but certtainly not inexpensive. I have seen Lugol's sell for $40 a quart, and that would make up 10 quarts of the aquarium Iodine, which the seller then sells for a lot more than $4 a quart.
