My Tank Thread
I personally would not pick this mixture even when new, but it is likely OK to dose. Some of the iodine may have oxidized to iodate, which is natural and OK, but not as readily used by algae as iodide.
Since I do not think iodine dosing is generally useful, be watchful when you dose it to see if it helps anything. If not, don't keep doing it just because someone somewhere thinks it was useful for them.

Oh, no. It is not a useful dip (IMO).
The antimicrobial chemical (such as Lugols Iodine) is an entirely different form of iodine (containing I2).
is this the product that would do the job ?

I do not know whether iodine dips are useful or not, but that is the antimicrobial form that folks sometimes use for dips.
