I put a drop in every night and test periodically to make sure it's not high.

I used to dose Lugol's as per directions (I think one drop per 25 gallons of system water), once per week.  I've stopped doing that and have noticed no change.  I've heard it is easy to overdo it.  I always thought that iodine/iodide was for purples and blues as opposed to reds, but those colours aren't that far off from each other?
