I figured when "all" the parameters are right on the spot everything's in the tank brighter, cleaner and healthier.

Does anything look like it is in need of help though? Why do you want to add Lugols?

That's why I try to be careful not to overdose. I have a few candycan, sun,favia moon coral, but mostly zoos and other small polyps and mushrooms. So far the SPS corals doesn't seem to care.

Well.. I used that product in my 75G and I noticed faster growing and better looking corals. ( not that I want fast growing stuffs in my nano:-) I've never have that kind of success with any other suppliments.

Being an impatient person myself, and always wanting to "help things along", I have added suplements like Lugols and even did the Prodibio protocol for a while. My corals have always been happiest with just basic maintenance and leaving the tank alone.

I belive you. Specially if you do small water changes every day. Now that means a lot.

I read a lot about daily water changes and what finally convinced me was the stabilitly aspect. Tiny changes or additions daily, are much more subtle than larger changes once a week or every other week.

100% agreed. That's how I came up with the 1G/5 day.

That's about 7% of the total water volume ( with refugium)
