Nearly everyone has low iodine!

Interesting with the metals (there was a break here because I stopped and dosed Iodide and the elements), when the Coral Essentials thing kicked off I got their Coral Power Gro and their trace B.
The trace B is a metals mix, just a thought. :)

What do you dose for Iodine / Iodide?

What do you dose for Iodine / Iodide?

I’m using the RedSea additives for iron and iodine. Liked the look of coral essentials got sold bottles on the way. Was tough finding a place selling it but found at Noble Reefs.

An early happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. My son has some fish stuff coming in for me. Hannah DKH, Nyos mag test, dosing pump tubing and calibration cylinder, and some reagents. I have a DP4 dosing pump coming in tomorrow I bought this for the wife to give me for Father’s Day. I’m wicked thoughtful that way saving her a trip to the store or online :p

What a charmer! ;)

 

[Fudsey]

I dose Brightwell's Iodion which is Iodide at .5 ml/day.

 

[najer]

Oops! ;)

 

[Scurvy]

Hey Ray. Have a look at Brightwell Iodine as Fudsey mentioned and Brightwells Replenish Which I think covers most of the others your lower on. I dose 14ml of Replenish twice a week and just started using their iodine Had been using Triton Iodine at 3.5ml once per week and need to figure out a conversion still.

this is on top of the Triton dosing which contains trace too. Quick pic of the replenish bottle.

Numbers look pretty good ray. Gonna give fauna a try man, love the advice for dosing as well.

Whacha got in mind for the dp4?

Having ph swings now looking at starting two part to control

 

[Scurvy]

Id look to Kalkwasser Ray. I think youll be happier with that as a PH aid in your situation. 2 part can certainly help but youll shoot Alk through the roof trying to keep up with PH.

 

[Raege]

Kalkwasser is a possibility need to nail down numbers see which way I will go. Not crazy about adding it to ato so would drip it in or use doser which I’m on fence about as well. I may just be able to maintain alk steady and be good to go.
