Hi John,
I personally think you are wasting your time worrying about the strontium and the iodine. First off there is no real need to dose either in my opinion. The benefits of dosing iodine have never been established and the testing methods are not accurate. If you overdose it will be extremely harmful to the livestock.

I also think strontium is a waste of time.

A good salt mix and frequent water changes are all that is needed to replace these elements in my opinion.

Randy will give you his take on things and I'm sure others will chime in as well.

Regards,

Pat
