|  Testing for Mag, etc.
On many postings references have been made to testing the Mag, Iodine, and silicates. Are there kits for these specific tests? If so, where do you get them. Oh, and how important is it, really? _________ Linda 29g Nano 2 FSL 8000k 36w & 2 AquaLux 36w Blue Pump: 1200 LPH; Maxi-Jet 600 Powerhead 100w Visi Stealth submersible heater 15 lbs. live rock 20 lbs. live sand LIVESTOCK: 1 cleaner shrimp; Asst. snails, 1 emerald crab, Pierre the Cleaner Shrimp and acrobat extraordinnaire, 1 button polyp, 1 green star polyp, 1 red mushroom, 1 Xenia, 1 octopus coral, 1 torch, 1 frogspawn, 1 tree coral, 1 stag coral.

Mg. is important and iodine is if your adding supplement that contain it. Go to Premium Aquatics and look up test kits. Salifert is what I use and it is easy with no color charts to get lost in. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

I never test for iodine at home or work I never add it I have yet found a need for Iodine unless I wanted algae to bloom. Wasted test kit and money.. DKH , Calcium and Magnesium and take that Iodine money and get a Phosphate test kit.. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |
