Iodine high, need help/advice!

[Lenny_S]

I purchased the Red Sea coral colors pro test kit, and one of the tests is Iodine. It also happens to be the simplest so I used it first to test my tank. I have never dosed Iodine, so I was curious what this test would tell me.
I was shocked to see that the test told me I was about double the Iodine level of natural sea water. The color chart for the test only goes up to 0.09 ppm and I am slightly above that. If I had to guess I'd say my level is 0.12 ppm (maybe a little less, but definitely above 0.09 ppm).
There are 3 things I'd like some help/advice on. The first, is 0.12 ppm of Iodine (I guess total Iodine) a dangerous level? The second is where could the Iodine be coming from? The third, is there any way to lower it besides water changes?
@Randy Holmes-Farley I could really use some help here.

If i had to guess it would be from food, im not sure if where your levels are considered deadly-as the couple times i ever tested iodine i was as high as 0.08(maybe higher) without problems, do you run carbon?

I do not think it is any concern.

Are you dosing anything at all?

What sorts of foods do you feed?

Food, ugh, that's a bummer. I use Omega One Natural Protein Formula with garlic, Hikari Frozen mysis and frozen carnivore blend once a day. I also add 90 ml of Algae Barn's Ocean Magic live phytoplankton twice a week. I wonder if that Ocean Magic has a lot of iodine?
I do run carbon, 1.5 cups for 200 gallons.

That's a relief. Imagine my surprise when I tested expecting the level to be low because I don't specifically dose Iodine and it read so high. Out of curiosity what level would be a concern?
I dose BRS calcium chloride, soda ash, and SeaChem reef strontium (dry) at maintenance levels through an auto doser. The only other thing I dose is SeaChem Reef Trace at 1/2 the recommended dose once a week.
I listed the foods I feed in the post above.
