Re: testing question
I dont test for iodine,But I dont dose my tank with it either.
Regular water changes will take of that for you.

Re: testing question
Yep listen to yote. Iodine will be replentished with regular water changes. Test for magnesium instead its as important as calcium and alkalinity.

Re: testing question
The only time I test for iodine is when I get lazy on water changes.

Re: testing question
I agree with all of the above. Not worth dosing for and not worth testing for.

Re: testing question
juat so you know for the future there is iodine and iodide and they have two different tests for them so if you do decide to test for it make shure you have the right test also.
