Anyone Doing the Salifert Iodine Tests?

The first test for Iodide came out fine at .02, but the combined Iodate/Iodine test stayed clear with no reading at all. I did a 20% water change yesterday. Any thoughts?

Parms:
Temp 77-79
PH 8.1-8.3
Salinity 1.025
Calcium 460
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 10
Alk 13 dKh

Well, this kind falls into the "Droopy Leather" thread. I have 2 leathers that are hanging and I asked the LFS what it could be from. He told me to check Iodine levels. So I bought a VERY expensive Salifert kit and this is what I came up with.

I put a drop or two once a month.
