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>
