 Re: Will my rock die???
[quote author=freshtosalt link=board=Newbie;num=1101754135;start=60#69 date=12/20/04 at 23:34:37]I also add 10 drops of Iodine each day ( prescribed does is 8 drops per 50 gallons and I have a 65 gal. tank).
The tank has been running, from day one, for 5 weeks Monday the 20th. This Saturday will be 4 weeks with live rock in it.[/quote]
Not sure who changed ur mind but way excess on the iodine IMO....there arent many nice looking critters that require near that amount. Using the recomended dosage in even nicelye populated tanks builds up. Also i wouldnt add a supllement like iod. Cal. Stro. ect....unless you can measure it yourself. Ive always skimped on it unless its for my mantis tank or one with a ridiculous amount of shrims,crabs,ect. I also like to think of the motto that most things semm to die off earlier than those which grow at a normal healthy pace....this is in the long run. My shrimp and crabs used to die off from molting too much due to excess iod.
