Do you think using ozone will affect your dosing regiment?

I am sure. I will test Iodine end of this week to see where I am at. I am already expecting Bromine and others to increase. My plan is to send out an ICP test in a couple of weeks to see where everything is at.
 
Do you see a specific benefit from dosing iodide?

I feel that having an NSW level or higher helps corals immunity, allows them to heal faster, and helps them handle stress better. Whenever I went through STN/RTN events in the past, I would get ICP results back with very low iodine levels. Ever since then, I have always made it a point to dose iodine, as it is one of the elements that deplete quickly in our systems.

I can't say for sure that dosing iodine has done anything that stands out other than crabs molting, but it sure makes me feel better. :)

I’m going to want a frag of that Mille if I ever get around to upgrading the tank. But, weather is nice so it’s boating/fishing season as soon as the river levels go down. Oh, it’s also pepper, tomato and homemade salsa season😉. I’m a little busy this time of year.
