Iodine and HLLE
Hello, I have been reading your site and seen
something about iodine and HLLE. Where would I be able to get this and
how do you use this? Thanks!
<Hi Mark! HLLE is a nutritional
deficiency in fish. Iodine itself won't do anything to resolve or treat
HLLE. For the FAQ you were reading, go to WetWebMedia.com scroll to the
bottom of the page and type "HLLE, iodine" into the Google search. For
the information you want on iodine, type it into the search engine and
you will find gobs of information on iodine and it's usage. It is
available in two forms from most marine fish stores. Hope this is what
you had in mind! Craig> Using Iodine for HLLE II
Thanks,
does iodine work real good? Just wondering how effective it was.
<It
is not a cure for HLLE. It can be helpful when used with improving
overall water quality, diet, etc. Please read the article and FAQ files
on www.WetWebMedia.com concerning HLLE. -Steven Pro> HLLE
It looks like I've got HLLE to combat on my powder brown tang, and I
have two questions after reading the FAQs:
1. Can Kent's Coral-Vite
be used as a food additive? The directions only site usage directly to
tank, but it has potassium iodide and calcium iodide among its
ingredients. I can soak it onto O.S.I. Spirulina, or Hikari Daphnia.
<You can/could, but I encourage you to also look into, get Selcon>
2.
Do you have any knowledge on the usage of MelaFix (Tea Tree) for
HLLE. I thought that it might make sense to use this for the skin
regeneration while I attack the core of the issue with diet additives
and additional natural sunlight.
<Yes... and I don't think it's
appropriate here>
The OSI Spirulina has always been the morning
feeding, and they get more of the same plus krill for my puffer at
night. I also have Boyd's VitaChem (which lists no iodide, but it does
have the micro algae). I will also be doing weekly water changes from
now on, which I was slacking off to every 2-3 weeks. Finally, I'm off
to buy some Nori shortly.
Thanks for all the wonderful info on your
site.
<Thank you. Do also look into checking your water quality,
keeping your skimmer in efficient operation. Bob Fenner>
