I am fairly new at the hobby. During the last meeting I borrowed the book Getting Into Mini-Reefs by Jim Fatherree. I just finished reading it and saw in a number of places that he recommends Iodine supplements for soft corals.
Within the last few months I got some Xenia, Green Star and Mushroom soft corals. They all seem to be doing great. However, I want to be a good host/owner of these sea creatures and give them what they need to be heathy.
Ever since the day a couple years ago when I added some Ich Medicine, according to directions, that killed all my fish (another story for another time) I'm gun shame about adding anything to my tank except salt, water and the occasional PH buffer. How important is it to add Iodine?
