guess i should have said it more like...which once good? lol ive used the brightwell one but never saw anything change what other brands are there

IMO Lugol's is the best potassium and iodine source. Great for blues and purples.

+1. That is what I use and it has really helped my blue's come out.

Is that two different items? I searched and didn't find what I think you might be talking about.

Thanks

lugols solution is a diluted (with water) form of KI² potasiumiodide , so both potasium and iodine are dosed

This is the product I use and that I believe allsps is referring to.

^ Yep that is it. I am using Brightwell's Lugol's though not Kent, its all the same though. Almost time for a pic update, soon.

Is there anything wrong with Lugols solution available at pharmacies? Its a quarter of the price of Brightwells

allsps40, what salt are you using ?

 

[allsps40]

D-D H2Ocean, almost through my first 5 gallon bucket. Great salt, love it. I was using Reef Crystals but got a few back buckets.

Look for new pics today.

How is the tank coming?

 

[allsps40]

Much better. Coloring back up, but I have a lot of greens coming out of not green sps. Working on getting the purples and blues to come back. I will get pics up later today, did not have time yesterday.

That's a good thing most likely. IME a lot of acros will actually turn green before they return to their regular colors.

From my experience, that is true that some of my corals go from brown to green before getting their natural color. My rose millepora was that way. It started out being brown. Then went through a short phase when it was green. Now is it a nice deep red color. My blue color corals are going through this same thing right now. I can see the bases are turning green. Hoping that the entire body will go blue soon afterward. Been struggling with blue colors so I started dosing lugol's solution after reading through this thread.

Yeah I have heard the same thing so just waiting. No changes. I promise pics tonight.

 

[allsps40]

Ok updated pics.
