nope but you are right on about test first I have to find that item here locally no one here carries it ? but my sister in law can get it in ohio for me and bring it in when they come for thanksgiving .. I was just curious how easy it is to dose ... Our levels should be good we do 20 % changes aweek today I did 30 % to help boost our traces ..... once a month I do a 30%on both tanks the other 3 weeks 20%. 
You can also try Iodide, that's stuff is safe. As if you overdose with iodine, it can kill. Iodide you can add a little more than the recommended and nothing bad happens. I used Iodide , and my shrimps and crabs dont have any problems molting.
When high levels of iodine start getting up there, it kinda forces the shrimp/crab to molt. I think Dj was having too much fun dosing there and watching his CBS undress, haha, bad dj! :lol:
