cedricang Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think there is an idea way about getting the value of iodine in our system. First test the natural sea water and see what is the value using a test kit...say red sea iodine test kit or salifert The use that as a gauge for our tank, keep it at that level first and see if there is any improvement. For those with a stronger heart may wanna slowly up or down the value to see if there is any interesting result LOL Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

SRC Member christan1959 Posted January 24, 2017 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2017 Another thing just occurred to me... if u use a CA reactor, won't the media release trace elements? Iodine an exception? Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk I believe in the case of a tank that is been carbon dosed (like mine) and aggressive wet skimming, then trace elements especially iodine would be quickly depleted.

SRC Member christan1959 Posted January 25, 2017 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ah so. I don't carbon dose and I dry skim. Maybe I will go get a test kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
