You realize that Potassium iodide is iodine? Are you dosing iodine twice then? Are you testing for iodine, iron, and strontium? If not, how do you decide how much to dose? FWIW, there does not exist a hobby grade test kit that is particularly accurate for either iodine or iron.

Why don't you try out a few of the ZEO products? I have noticed a huge difference in my corals, and I think it would be mainly attributed to ZEOvit Pohl's Coral Vitalizer.

What's your temp at? I've always found my corals are more colorful if I keep the temp below 80. Tough in the summer though...
