Ok, so no more dosing anything without testing for it first right. That is a cardinal sin bro, you can't be putting stuff in your tank if you have no idea what the levels are to start with. JMO but I would stop dosing until you have test kits, and I would be willing to bet that you will never need to dose iodine.
You should do a search on some reviews of odyssea lights, they aren't the best. Just save money for the sunpod, you will not be disappointed. Odyssea lights are cheap for a reason.
Man, sorry to be so negative but I am just trying to help you out a bit here.

Don't put a 150 watt in a 250 fixture. I will overdrive the bulb and cause it to pop or at the very least fail prematurely.
I agree here, do some research on this Odyssea fixture. There have been reports of fires in the past. Please don't rush into a new light system Nissan, take your time, do your research, ask others about their systems and the good and bad about them.
Here is a thread about Odyssea fixtures that is going on right now.

)but with reef tank tanks or nano it all about taking it slow one step at a time and you know nissan how am with my tank am always checking my water levels except idion will start doing that first get your cal/alk at the right levels and also feed photoplankton and don't say you do becsuse i know you don't and see what happens also don't forget to do more water changes more offten i had to tell you to do it also keep using bris worm trap it could be that

I read it. And also read the other thread that's there. And it convinced me to not buy the lights. I saw on a website a sunpod 150w 14k bulb for $230.00. Is that a good price?
Also I realized I'm taking this to fast. I have to slow down. And stop dosing as you guys recommended.
