Probably best to start a new thread instead of adding a different theme to this one. As for bristle worms, I've never removed any in over 12 years...
Sure the bacteria died off. It will grow again. The presence of ammonia causes the first stage to happen and..........I think you already know the...
When my problem happened, the smell from the basement when I opened the front door was like being hit with a dump truck load of sluge from a...
You can still use a chloramine remover like Amquel or ClorAm-X and run the water through a DIY carbon filter for decent water.
I use an aquaclear on my seahorse tank but only put carbon in it. I use live rock for the biological filter. The filter is also means of water...
I have no doubts that the skimmer can remove some forms of iodine. However, you replace/add forms of iodine every time you feed your tank as it is...

Like I said, I've been reefing now 12 plus years and never dosed iodine in any form and my xenia and corals and shrimp all do just fine. When...
Well Bruce, around here, very few people dose iodine or trace elements. It woud be a heck of a chore to even find test kits that aren't out of date...
FWIW, I've never dosed iodine and I farm xenia for sale to a Local LFS. I make a lot of money each year just on this coral alone. If xenia needed...
