I worked out the dosage for iodine supplementing using Iodine Tincture or Tincture of Iodine (same thing). For a totally depleated system, you would use two drops per ten gallons of water (tank and sump) to get back up to the natural seawater level of .06 ppm.
You can use this same dosing amount if you have an over the counter pharmacy grade Lugals formula. The difference of Lugals Iodine and Tincture of Iodine is that the Lugals formula is water based and the Tincture is ethanol based.
Thanks to the crack heads, iodine is limited to 2.2% solutions in 1 oz. or less (it is used in crystal meth production). Anyway, this limits us mostly to Iodine Tincture since most medical Lugals formulas are now prescription only.
