Default Iodine?
Does anyone dose with Iodine for their mushrooms? My LFS told me its supposed to help them grow faster... but I wanted to see if anyone had tried it.

Also, what about ZooMax?

I just picked up some green rhodactis polyps with an order of zoos... I'll have to try dosing the tank with it after I get them on Monday

If you are dosing, make sure to do the test TWICE to make sure of an accurate reading. An overdose of Iodine can nuke your tank.

Ok..I'll have to go get an iodine test kit then...

What about zoomax..does anyone use that for mushrooms? I've fed it in my other tank to my frogspawn and hammer coral...and my LFS guy saw my tank and said that they look awesome... the fleshy part..not sure of the name is all big on all of them..and they are starting to branch...

Will mushrooms like zoomax too?
