I dose iodine based on the recommendation on the bottle. I don't test for it either. I agree that it's not the safest practice but by following the direction I've never experienced anything bad. I also use Kent's tech I formula as it is less prone to being skimmed out of the water right after dosing.
I have noticed that my shrimp molted more often once I began dosing. i also have more poylp extension with LPS and SPS.
