"If you are dosing iodine or Stontium you are killing your clams. Please read this thread from Dr Ron"
I'm not sure that this is correct. If you are testing iodine and testing strontium and your levels are at or below natural sea water then how can this be killing your clams. They live in sea water and mother nature has been caring for them for a long, long time. If it were killing them then why are they not extinct?
I'm not saying that these claims are incorrect...who am I to question Dr Ron or Eric Borneman however, it's just hard to accept that striving to keep parameters as close to sea water would cause any problem. Now, adding iodine or Strontium blindly without testing, that would be a different story. I read the thread and did not see any answer to that question so I thought I'd throw it into the mix. Not sure if anyone is still posting to this as it seems to have started back in 1999-2002.
I would be very interested to see some sense out of this question however.
