I just started kalk a few weeks ago, so far I like it. I didn't realize so many people using AFR, I think I'd be afraid to after what happened to so many tanks here with the salt.
AFR all for reef?. I won't use it because I don't think It can be dialed in well.

It looks more complicated than it is. You just have to have the right colorimeter and the right reagents.
After a couple of good reads it doesn't seem as bad, just looked like a whole lot to do because of all the text.
Right! and multiple brands of product needed to mix.... I'm hoping one day hanna comes out with a good iodine checker
That would be nice, is this the only "reliable" way we can test at home?

There are some iodine testers but I don’t think they are as reliable.

I don’t think there is an easy way to supplement iodine in our tanks. Mine is low on icp tests as well. I use the same method that Shane uses and test about once a month and adjust according to my results. I’m just worried about overdosing so I don’t tinker with it as much.
I'm using Seachem reef iodide. Something I'm missing there?

Do you know which mix you were using? Pre-increase of iodine formula? I recently bought two jars, one new one old. Seems like there's a lot of old stock out there still.(Petco is new BRS wasl old, but I was in a pinch and had coupons.
I didn't know there was a recipe adjustment. All I see is a lot number, 32856, on the bottom of the can.

I meant as a supplement in a salt mix or something like AFR. I use Seachem Reef Iodide as well, based on the results of my testing. I wouldn’t blindly add iodide without having base and target numbers. Iodine gets used up so quickly that it’s hard to keep at a desirable level without running the risk of overdosing. At least, in my experience. I’d rather it be lower than over.
