For coral dipping, draw 1 US gallon of aquarium water into a clean container and calculate the required Lugol's amount based on the ppm-per-gallon strength on the label. Soak corals for 10 to 12 minutes only and set a timer. Discard dip water after use and do not add dip water back to the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne 30 ml bottle of Brightwell Aquatics Lugol's Solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brightwell Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50289994727712,"sku":"BW-LUG030","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8222\/5696\/files\/brightwell_lugols_solution_30ml-1.jpg?v=1781208936"}],"url":"https:\/\/aquariumsupplydirect.com\/collections\/trace-elements.oembed","provider":"J\u0026L Aquatics - Aquarium Supply Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
