    lugols is for xenia.. it has been shown that xenia actually has iodide inside of it. salidity is so low because of the water change. i ran out of salt durring the last one. and no im not using a refractometer.

    mine is also 1 drop per 30 gallon and my lfs said once a week. i dose every other day and im just 100 percent satisfied. you have to be carefull with everyday because you can overdose your water, in which case you would have to have ammonia detox on hand incase of this. also how old are your...
