I just received my ICP results a vanadium came up at 44( should be 2-3). Anyone have any idea where that might be coming from? I’m using Red Sea blue bucket

Just kalkwasserWhat do you dose?
Vanadium is a low toxicity element, and i would not worry at all if it is below 25 µg/l, likely there is also no issues in the ~100 µg/l range, but id recommend to keep a "safety distance" to potentially problematic concentrations.
Typical sources in my experience are reef ceramics. Vanadium and even arsenic are the (unexpected) elements we often see released by ceramics.
If you want to lower the concentration GFO type media usually work. However they have significant influence on other trace elements (and of course also phosphate).

I have a small amount of media balls left I believe. I took most out because my last ICP had high aluminum. It also had vanadium within normal limits.Any bricks in your system?
Thanks!High Vanadium
Hello, I have a new 120 gallon Red Sea Reef that's about a year old. I've been using the Reef Moonshiner method for two months. My Vanadium is escaladed 117.6 to a reference of 1.42 I have two questions: 1) How can I bring this down? I have done 2 10% water changes to no effect 2) Does High...www.reef2reef.com
