Viet-tin Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 You can dose but be very careful and follow the instructions. i dont dose personally because I feel doing regular water changes replenishes most of the essential elementsused by coral and other inverts.

+dapettit Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 #1 RULE - if you can't test for it don't dose it. I dose Iodide, not iodine, for my inverts with exoskeletons (think shrimp). But, I follow the instructions to the letter. This is the only thing I dose that I do not test for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekreefer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm not sure what size tank you have but I dose 3mL per week for a 29 gallon. I think the instructions on the Kent Iodide is 5mL per 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M. Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have foundLug ol's solution, a drop or two every now and again, causes purples to intensify in my SPS. Careful with it though, as has been stated, it can be overdone with dire consequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think a lot more of my SPS had brighter colors when I regularly dosed Lugol's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I accidentally overdosed Iodine in my tank a few nights ago... I haven't really noticed much. I was supposed to do a drop or so, and ended up pouring like... 6 or 7 drops. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
