Salinity 1.023 (usually at 1.024)
temp 78F
Ph 8.0 (low but holds steady,)
Alk 2.0
dkh 7 (or 125.3ppm)
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 0
calcium 440
magnesium 1200
iodine .02 (going to steady raise up to .05-.06)

This was the FIRST day I used my iodine test kit, because until now, I couldn't figure out how to use it! Works great though and, NOW I KNOW why my corals aren't as happy as they should be, they're still growing and happy, just, ya know, I've seen happier ones!

Corals do not need iodine and on top of that iodine is very hard to test for. Most tests will always read nothing.
