Hi Bros,

Just want to ask, if i want to dose iodine can i mix it with DI water and pour it into a small container and use a dosing pump?

Will dose less than the recommended amount and also will split it to twice a day. Estimated need to make a new batch every 2 weeks. Will the iodine last till then? Also could I extend it?

What's your reason for dosing iodine? Are you having issues with colours fading in your LS?

Hi Bro,That is to much work..and you might be diluting your concentration..and yes iodine helps alot..

Im Using Tropic Marine's Iodine..Depends on Your tank Litre/Gallons..

1 Drop Per 50 Gallons..do the math :D

I Drop about 6-7drops dailly..zoas and SPS Colours stay nice and bright..

i would recomend this..easy to dose and less chance of overdosing.

i bought mine from Aquamarine..but in Madpetz also available..

cheers!

Thanks bro ashwin. Im using the same one. My tank only 30 gallons so hard to measure half a drop. So decided to use my dosing pump as have one channel still empty.
