I tested my water using 3 different methods all taken from the tank at the same time. I figured I would share the results for what it is worth:
Also, I wanted to ask about Iodine's role in the reef tank. I have taken 3 ICP tests since I started my tank a few years back and each time my Iodine was low. The last result was about 0.01 and it recommends 0.06. What would cause chronicly low Iodine like this? My tank is healthy now, but I have definitely had my challenges in the past with SPS. I am wondering if Iodine in some way is playing a role. Does anyone have a dosing regime for Iodine specifically?
