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

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

Another thing just occurred to me... if u use a CA reactor, won't the media release trace elements? Iodine an exception?

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.
