If u r really afraid, u can use half of the recommended dosage...

Anyway, if u have a decent skimmer, the skimmer will skim the iodine out also.. so not so much worry that u would overdose in the long run...

If u r still not convinced, get a Salifert Iodine testkit... :P

People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

i recently started with TM iodine

then my corals suddenly act wierd like close up very tight

a couple of experienced reefers pm me telling me that i could've overdosed even when i followed the recommended dosage because my bioload is extremely low as of now

what i'd say is get a test kit like salifert

if not just stick with half the recommended dosage because iodine kills if you overdose so don't risk it
