That's what I'm gonna do. Thanx! Leathers and other softies love Lugols!

How often are you checking the parameters of your tank water?

If, for some reason, I need to check freshly mixed water, I usually wait at least 12 hours.

Do you keep SPS? I have read that softies do appreciate iodide additions but the extra sliming off from the softies, due to the extra iodide, is bad for the hard stuff(SPS)

I figured when "all" the parameters are right on the spot everything's in the tank brighter, cleaner and healthier.

Does anything look like it is in need of help though? Why do you want to add Lugols?

That's why I try to be careful not to overdose. I have a few candycan, sun,favia moon coral, but mostly zoos and other small polyps and mushrooms. So far the SPS corals doesn't seem to care.

Well.. I used that product in my 75G and I noticed faster growing and better looking corals. ( not that I want fast growing stuffs in my nano:-) I've never have that kind of success with any other suppliments.

Being an impatient person myself, and always wanting to "help things along", I have added suplements like Lugols and even did the Prodibio protocol for a while. My corals have always been happiest with just basic maintenance and leaving the tank alone.
