Can skimmer skim out trace elements additives?

so it is vital if there is a large number of invertebrates in the reef tank, then some form of minor trace element supplementation should be employed. Some of the minor trace elements that may be beneficial include iodine, iron, bromide, fluoride, and vanadium. The trace elements can be added in a mixed trace element supplement.

Iodine, however, should be added as a separate trace element as it oxidizes more rapidly than others. Other than the trace elements the dosing should be given in small portions two or three times a week with the iodine given as a bonus once a week.

Additives and trace elements may not seem to play a significant role in successful reef keeping, but even small things such as these can have a deleterious effect when they are neglected.

Thank you so much! I have pick up something. Will take note the importants of each advise.

Will update you guys on the outcome of my tank soon.

Cheers!
