I put one drop of lugols in my 100 gallon system today after reading this and thinking about it. It says one drop per 25g but im not going to put stress on my shrimp and hermits and i dont have an iodine test. I rarely add it and when i do its not much at all. I have potassium iodide 2% and i have used that a few times as well.
When i dip corals in lugols and tank water i dont wash them off in fresh tank water before they go back into the tank. I do this to add a bit of iodine to the system so i guess im adding a little more than i let on. In the 8 months this system has been set up i have dosed iodine to the tank at very low doses 4 times, i have dipped and not rinsed about 4 or 5 that i can think of. 2 times was lugols that i added and 2 times was the iodide.
