I attempted to dose awhile back but quickly decided it wasnt worth the risk of overdosing. Overdosing can cause serious problems, I found the test kits rather difficult to perform as well as read.

I have been using Brightwell Aquatics Lugol's Iodine Solution for about 1 1/2 years and will keep using it!!! Iodine will also help richen the colours of you SPS corals as well! But be careful not to overdose it! I would buy the D&D iodine test kit if you want to dose iodine! Good luck! keep us posted!

I heard people use the term "iodine dip" What does that involve?
