I dose iodone right now.

I don't measure, I'm a baaaaaaad reefkeeper

If I haven't seen a shrimp molt in a while, I put in 1/4 the dose the bottle recommends.

And usually I see a molt fairly soon after, so it works for me.

I dose some MG if it tests low, but it hasn't since I got my CA reactor. I do water changes of 25 gallons every two weeks. I figure that should keep everything else in line.

Can you overdose on Mg. I understand you need to dose a lot of Magnesium to achieve the proper level.

I dose Liquid Reactor every day or two & a few drops of Lugol's Solution (iodine concentrate) every week. Liquid Reactor has Strontium & Magnesium in it already.
