Keep your calcium/alk level up. Don't worry too much about temps, though they seem to like around 80+ the best and seem to do fine in a wide range of ph, though keeping alk up will take care of this.
I recommend using Kent's Iodine at a rate of 4-6 drops per day per 50gls. If you have a small ricordea/softy load use less.
I do not know about any other iodines on the market so if you ask all I can reply is 'I don't know'. I started using Kents back in 92 and have used it since without fail. If it ain't broke...
Some say don't dose..I have no comment on that. I do and it works wonders on my rics.
I did the leg work for you
