| Re: Does Xenia need Iodine/Iodide?

Randy Holmes-Farley recommends dosing Iodide instead of Iodine which is much easier to test for.
| I agree with RH-F. It's my understanding (somebody correct me if I've been misinformed) that Iodide is a more usable product for the animals and is the actual end product of iodine after processing in the aquarium. I use Seachem Iodide, before using it my iodine/ide levels were -.02, since I've started using it my levels stay between .03-.06 (.06=NSW) As for its benefit for Xenia, I didn't notice any difference in it's growth before or since using Iodide.
