SRC Member Tigger Posted May 6, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2005 I find that with Iodine dosage, colour of corals is more vibrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member shoelevy Posted May 6, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2005 I find that with Iodine dosage, colour of corals is more vibrant. since the last time i posted in this thread, i've changed from dosing weekly to adopting dosing TM lugol everyday at the advice of some seniors (1drop per 200L) and from my observation, i must agree with Tigger on colours of corals becoming more vibrant. i noticed this with mushrooms and my jewel. for me, mushrooms showed effect within a week and jewel within 6weeks. just some of my observations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dkk08 Posted May 6, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2005 ok I'm gonna ask a totally newbie qn... wat kinda effect does charcoal have when I've them in my hang on filter? And does Iodine helps my shrimps in anyway? Quote “Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them” "If you have no critics you'll likely have no success." - Malcolm X Glory Glory Man Utd!

SRC Member hotlemond Posted May 6, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2005 ok I'm gonna ask a totally newbie qn... wat kinda effect does charcoal have when I've them in my hang on filter? And does Iodine helps my shrimps in anyway? carbon or charcoal?? carbon helps to clarifies the water, remove toxin, remove ordor, metal contents. but you have to be careful with using it cos some will leach more phosphate into the water. Iodide/iodine helps your shrimps to molt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
