Iodine

[sherman]

Interesting. HK so your SPS stn. You start dosing iodine. A week later stn stop and polyp start to come out?

I need to measure my iodine and see if it is ok.

I think there is an idea way about getting the value of iodine in our system.

First test the natural sea water and see what is the value using a test kit...say red sea iodine test kit or salifert

The use that as a gauge for our tank, keep it at that level first and see if there is any improvement. For those with a stronger heart may wanna slowly up or down the value to see if there is any interesting result  LOL

Another thing just occurred to me... if u use a CA reactor, won't the media release trace elements? Iodine an exception?

NSW level for iodine is 0.06 ppm.

I believe in the case of a tank that is been carbon dosed (like mine) and aggressive wet skimming, then trace elements especially iodine would be quickly depleted.

Ah so. I don't carbon dose and I dry skim. Maybe I will go get a test kit.

[sherman]

I also wet skim and carbon dose. How much u dose iodine u dose daily
