Is it iodine? That can help with coral and things like pulsating zenias crow if not what's the best think to use as I've got polyps grown on a piece of live rock but its growning very slow
I bought a Hanna iodine tester and it showed I had twice the level of iodine natural seawater has. I dosed iodine occasionally because I thought it helped. Stopped 6 months ago and no negative change, but iodine runs normal now. I use reef crystals and my guess is it has plenty of iodine in it.
Thats my point, without testing it can build up and wipe out a tank, a big risk when it isnt even needed, and I have a tank fuil of xenia's, keep it simple and keep out of trouble,
There is a natural desire to find that magic additive that will convert your reef into one of those picture postcard ones over night. I certainly had it. Because one coral doesn't do as well as you would want doesn't necessarily mean you are low on some element. More often it is much more basic than that.
Salifert has more accuracy but most reefers don't have to worry about iodine since salt mix has all the elements that will replenish with a pwc.Does anyone use the salfest iodine test kit if so is it any good ?
