This is Randy's take on dosing Iodine, which he no longer does.
WEll, for 13 yrs now I've been keeping it in garbage pails without a covers on them so I'm not about to change now. About the longest I have kept...
Personally, my main food for all my tanks is spirulina flake food. All my fish eat it except for the copperband and the seahorses; even my cleaner...
I agree, don't sweat it any. I don't think any of my tanks get over 8.2 at the peak of day, and many drop to 7.9 in the am before lights come on....
I hate to say it but that's what Mag Floats are for, to clean the glass every few days to a week, whatever is needed. I have some tanks to clean...

With the Q tank, one can do water changes and use the ammo loc to control the ammonia so water changes aren't constant. I like to use ClorAm-X which...
Test kits for copper and iodine and not very reliable. The copper I would only use if treating a fish with copper, the iodine I would never use...
I use Tahitian Blend from Brine Shrimp Direct to feed them with all the time so they are always gut loaded and I can take some out, rinse, and put in...
Welcome!
Sites like Foster etc. won't work for her because she is in Canada and importing costs an arm and a leg plus exchange. My 55g tank has four 40w NO...
