Hello all. Last week I got an ICP test, I like to do them once or twice a year.
All came back in good / expected range except Iodine. When converted it came out to something insane like .28. I believe we are shooting for a level of .06.
Well I got a Salifert test kit and iodide and Iodine tested a bit high and iodates were off the chart high.
For the record I see no issues in the system.
I have a theory. I feed a homemade frozen mix consisting of Tilapia, Bay Scallops, Minced clams, squid, nori, shrimp. I feed quite heavy probably equivalent of 8-10 cubes a day.
Could the iodine be coming from this? I pour all the minced clams and juice in, I don’t strain anything. I love the PO4 .
So my obvious question is where is this coming from and should I be concerned?
Iodine result was 287µg/l = .287 ppm . It should be .06
