Yes I agree with Shane @SBB Corals as well. He's got the midas touch. Coral colors are insane!!However, like @SBB Corals said iodine is also very important, not just for color but overall health and particularly plays a role on preventing bleaching.
Would be curious to see your results if you tested a standard.Hello Everyone,
We finally tested the Hanna h196786 Nitrate checker Photometer Against the Hanna h1782 handheld Nitrate Checker
The results were good. we checked it 3 times and then Calibrated the Photometer and checked again for a 4th time. To our surprise the Handlight Hanna had a more consistent reading with the photometer was not as consistent. The handheld was in a tight range at 8.2 with the photometer was more around the 12-16 Range.
We did all these test back to back
I am happy with all the results but wonder which one is more accurate. the range between 8-16 is all good with us and we test for ranges anyway.. even though the Photometer looks a little less consistent we still prefer it over the handheld because it can be calibrated.
Here is a picture series of each test we did in a row. What is weird is after each test the reading went up little bit each time and then once we calibrated it came back down.
Here is the 1st test
Here is the Second Test notice how the reading are going up a bit
Here is the 3rd Test and the readings keep increasing
We then Calibrated the Photometer just to see if it would make a difference. Here is pictures with the calibration process
Here is the final 4th Test with both units after Calibrating the Photometer
thank you!Beautiful!
we would test a standard great idea. Where do we get the standard from?Would be curious to see your results if you tested a standard.
exactly we don't want to dose too much either.Same issue, the red sea test kit is impossible to read and complicated and my corals clearly want more iodine than I'm dosing daily, but I'm nervous to dose too much without having a reading.
Same problem. My NYOS kit usually shows I am in range, but my ICP always comes back way low.Hello Everyone,
we would like to discuss the topic of Iodine. We feel this is an extremely important Element for Tenuis Corals.
the biggest problem we are having is that all the test kits for Iodine are just terrible. we can't even get a baseline to use with these handheld kits.
we are Relying on Triton ICP test for Iodine. We like to keep Iodine at 90. when the Iodine drops under 30 we notice our Tenuis do not look great and have much less PE. Then we dose it up again and the next day we notice more PE..
The problem with the Triton ICP is that it is now taking up to 2 weeks to get the results back and it seems our corals suck down iodine at a rapid pass so whenever the test comes back it shows like 20 and then we dose it up again and then its fine.. we then send another test and wait for the results and then Iodine goes back down.. now we are getting better at dosing it daily to keep up with the demand but it seems the corals just eat it up....
anybody else having this issue?
has anybody found a good test kit to actually get a baseline reading?
It looks like Hach and a few other companies sell them. That said I haven't done this so I'm not the best to comment on a brand.we would test a standard great idea. Where do we get the standard from?
Very interesting to know. I've sporadically dosed Iodine but never with that resolve with the ICP testing. My goal has been to maintain low but detectable levels with the idea that it is rapidly depleting (so as not to overdose)Hello Everyone,

Curious as well. Do you think the potassium may be helping out some with the responses you've noticed @SBB Corals ?Same problem. My NYOS kit usually shows I am in range, but my ICP always comes back way low.
I have great growth on all tenuis, but no PE or limited PE. Even my Millis have only modest PE.
Are you dosing Sodium Iodide or potassium iodide?
