Triton test result = 0 iodide

[Syntax1235]

Triton test came back with 0 iodide. All my corals look fine. I harvest about a gallon of chaeto a week. I've got a 180 gallon tank with a 40 breeder sump. I dose 8ml of the core a day with a fairly light acro load. Should I bother correcting if everything looks good?

I had the same issue. It's said to not matter but I bought some seachem iodine and a Salifert test kit. I just keep it readable now. Not sure of the overall value of these trace elements collectively, but I do believe I've seen improvement overall since started tweaking.

You can if you want to, if you see an improvement then continue, if you don't then don't.....

Just be careful with home Iodine test kits as they can be woefully inaccurate when dealing with very low levels and Iodine is not something you want to overdose particularly.
