Is the Hanna H1718 Iodine checker appropriate for reefing?
I dose Tropic Marin All4Reef and SeaChem Iodide. Hard to find a good test.
It’s actually a reliable one
Yikes- meant not a reliableFor what? Not a reef tank, certainly.
So after much research, am I to guess there is really no good home test for iodine? Is the mail in test the only decent method?It not a not at all useful for reef tanks.
It neither detects the appropriate forms (iodide and iodate) nor the appropriate levels (0.06 ppm or less) for iodine in seawater.

I thought the Salifert test was OK when I used it, but that was a long time ago. I later decided iodine dosing was not useful in my tank. It is not something that I generally recommend as important, although I know some folks think it is. I suggest that folks wanting to dose iodine consider it as an experiment and look for benefit, not as a must do.
