iodine

Hi everyone. I just accidentally dropped one or two drops of seachem reef dip in my tank. It's around 50 gal total. Should I do something? I figured since it's so diluted, I wouldn't have problems. The tanks is 1 month old and I have a pair of clowns and some GSP. Thanks

Hello, I wonder if any of you do not limit yourself only to balling method (with NaCl free salt), but also makes your own solutions of Bromine, Potassium, Iodine, Strontium and maybe even trace elements. Do you follow any specific recipes?

I purchased my first coral recently, a hammer coral, and want to make sure I properly dip the coral before placing it in the tank. I have read about dipping in CoralRX as well as dipping in Lugol's iodine solution and have several questions: (1) Should I do both back to back? If so, should I...

I had an ICP test showing 0 iodine, so I bought AF Iodum, which I started dosing at 2 drops for 160 litres volume. I could only find a Salifert Iodine/Iodide test kit, but it showed 0 on both, so I’m not sure the test is working. Will this test kit work for Iodum? It says it doesn’t work on...

Hello all, my first Thread here :) i got a bamboo shark. i know for the need for iodine. i feed raw frozen foods and dosing daily iodine to the tank, mostly for the macro algaes. i don´t know if this is enough iodine for a juvenille with 16inch. sadly i can´t get my hands on the mazuri shark...

HI reefers. Hope all well. Off late i had been losing my torch coral heads one after another. Despite fragging the frag head could not survive the slow decay and finally Brown jelly was Visible just before its last breath. I searched various Forum and also read how Antibiotics can...

So I accidentally bought the Hannah iodine tester for freshwater and have been wondering how I could safely dose to the reef tank without an ICP test. I was thinking I could add iodine to an ATO or mix it in my freshwater and then test prior to adding salt to achieve .06 iodine levels. I'm not...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents on this topic - Iodine absolutely improves the health of LPS coral without a doubt in my mind. I spent a lot of time going back and forth because of the amount of people on here swearing Iodine has no impact. I was low on an ATI test, so went with their...

Hi, My name is Hans-Werner Balling and I am doing R&D at Tropic Marin. I also have developed the All-For-Reef. Iodine is a very important trace element for coral growth, coloration and polyp extension. Low iodine concentrations slow coral growth, make the brown color fade to a pale...

Hello, I got a pulsing Xenia about 4 ish months ago, and up until the last month and a half it was doing well and pulsing like crazy. Now the polyps are skinny and not as puffed up without any pulsing whatsoever. I have also been battling prorocentrum dinos and now have a forest of GHA however...

Do you guys think using Instant Ocean Sea Salt (Purple Bag) is ok to use for a yellow coral banded shrimp? Does it have enough iodine and other trace elements for it. I also have 2, 5 gallon buckets of Instant Ocean Reef Salts. I'm going to guess this one is better, but was just wondering if...

Hi everyone, who out their doses their tank with iodine to help their shrimp molt?

I've heard that some people go as far as to supplement iodine in their tanks to help their xenia flourish. I haven't been able to verify this theory (and believe me I've tried), but that seems to imply that xenia is a bio-accumulator of iodine. And if thats true then... Well, it probably...

There is a lot of talk about curing Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN) and Slow Tissue Necrosis (STN)Lately. How do people deal with it? In the comment section - please post how successful the treatment was - and why you used your particular method. Though it might have been better to allow people...

My wall hammer coral hasn't been doing well for a couple of months. I recently found that it seemed to perk up when I used carbon (I do have hitchhiker toadstools in my tank, so their toxin might be the culprit). This time only half of the hammer coral recovered even after carbon. The lower half...

Hello, really quick and probably easy to answer question: I got my triton ICP results and I want increase K and Sr. My K/Potassium results were 370mg/L. My Sr/Strontium results were 4mg/L. My I/Iodine results were 42mg/L. I want to push K to 400, Sr to 8, and I to 60. How fast can I push the...
