When I get home I'll let you know what the Warner Marine Lugols Plus instruction says... I would imagine the qty of drops should be the same as regular Lugols.

You might want to check in the appropriate fish or coral forum, depending on what's being dipped. I assume corals, since I haven't heard much about iodine dips for fish. I've seen 40 drops per gallon as the most commonly recommended dosage for a 10-15 minute dip, but I use the SeaChem product.

maybe it would be good to read the directions but i must assume that they are missing . maybe the store that you bought it from ? i use a different product so that wont help at all !

it's brightwell aquatics lugol's solution, but it doesn't have a recommended dosage for dipping corals. I have a colony of eagle eyes that are getting overgrown by a sponge. Thought this might help.

I'm not sure that Lugol's will help with the sponge, but it might die on contact with air.

Not exactly the instructions you are looking for.

Warner Marine Lugols Plus 1-2 drops p/25 gal for maintenance depending on light or medium stock tank. Do not overdose (per instructions).

Warner Marine Coral Dip & Conditioner 40 drops p/gal -- however this is a clear liquid and may not contain any iodine.
