If you're going to dose something like Iodine (iodite?), or Magnesium, or Iron, or Strontium, or 2-Part or anything else, you should hve a test kit to measure the levels of whatever you're dosing.

 

Don't just buy a bottle of Billy's Reef Chemicals and start dumping in the "reccomended dosage" on the back of the box.

 

Know the current level(s) of your tank and know what level you're shooting for.

 

Test, then Tweak, repeat as necessary.
