Anyone use small drops of Cal, iodine, and strontium in their fish food? It would help me with dosing since I don't have autos. Plus it would give some trace to the foods, is that bad? I wouldn't think so since they swim in it all the time, in moderate doses, would this be okay?

I’m not really sure but I would think if a fish ate a piece of food that had been soaked in even a single drop of a concentrated element like iodine or strontium, that that could be potentially toxic levels.

Just a thought but I wouldn’t risk it personally

That is what I decided on. Fish are confused at what the food in since they have never smelled lobster, tuna, or scallop before. Crabs digging in.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. Made the food without, seems to be going good
