Hello R2R, I'm interested in starting to dose iodine in my reef tank because I heard it brightens zoanthid colors and boosts their grow, any idea how much per gallon I would dose? thanks for the help!

You should only dose if you have tested for it and determine it’s deficient. Otherwise you are most likely wasting money or getting things out of balance. Blind dosing is just not a good ideaThanks for your reply! but this does not give me any insight on how or what to dose for iodine
An ICP test will tell you where your Iodine is. It will provide a daily dosing amount if you chose to do so but as many believe iodine is not necessary to dose it may all be in vane.Thanks for your reply! but this does not give me any insight on how or what to dose for iodine
Your local LFS might sell ICP test kits?where can I get an ICP test
Actually you want to dose iodide, which zoa convert to needed iodine and iodate. Iodine is also used by corals to detoxify oxygen produced by its zooxanthellae.Hello R2R, I'm interested in starting to dose iodine in my reef tank because I heard it brightens zoanthid colors and boosts their grow, any idea how much per gallon I would dose? thanks for the help!
Amazon.where can I get an ICP test
For what it’s worth, I use ATI icp tests. You can get them from Bulk Reef Supply, Saltwater aquarium, and others. There are other companies that do icp tests but as far as I know, ATI is the only one that also tests your source water (RODI). They send you some sample tubes you fill up with water samples put them into the provided envelope and stick the provided shipping label on and about 1 week later you get results.where can I get an ICP test
