Brightwell just because I dunno I use all their other stuff. It's iodide too like everyone said to get.

Why are you using it?

 

[Nate Chalk]

Why are you using it?

Because it tested low on ICP and everyone said get it back up.

I listen to my cronie forefathers

Iodide is supposed to be the better option. Brightwell is a good choice!

Goldie says thanks for getting levels back to normal. Rewarding view for sure.

Pectinia says stay back or I'll zap.

I wasn't arguing, just didn't want to scroll back 100 pages to figure it out, lol. I agree that ICP results are very helpful! I also know people add certain things based on specific coral needs so wasn't sure if that was the reason.

Gonis def like Iodine. Too low and they put... A lot.

Ooo I’ll keep that in mind. Guessing it be the same for Alves?

Not sure. Alveopora are in the Acroporidae family from what I read on Reef Builders. I assume Acros and Montis like iodine in the right levels so I'm guessing Alves would as well.

@StatelineReefer !!!!!

Overall the aquarium becomes colourless, dull and greyish. With extreme iodine deficiency, SPS corals lose their growth tips, increased shifting occurs and RTN-STN infections occur more frequently. With acute iodine deficiency, SPS corals shed off tissue from the base.​

I dose iodine in the blind. Not the smartest thing ever, but I don't think that's the cause.

Hmm..I wonder if that could be a contributing factor.

I've never been able to keep a goni alive for 6 months. They come in glorious and start a slow descent into nothingness

Do you do Aquacultured or Maricultured? It seems like a lot of vendors sell Maricultured Gonis and typical life span is about 6 months and then they just kind of melt.

I've had both. Some "bulletproof" ones. Same story.

My Gonis were all doing good and I had my magnet leaching and didn't know it. Everything else was dying but the Gonis and Alves were thriving. I wonder if they like metals... I didn't do an ICP test, should have.

ETA: I wasn't doing any iodine supplements at the time.

Me too. They seem to be doing better with the trace I have been adding. I was going to see where this next test end up and maybe start adding iodide on top of the trace.
