Hello All,
I just got my results back from my first ever triton test. I have a 200g system and am using Aquaforest Reef Salt. I dose Phytofeast to keep my PO4 detectable, Probidio Biodigiest twice monthly and thats it. I don't run carbon or GFO due to low nutrients already. I dose to keep them elevated. I have about 2L of Siporax in my huge with a trickle of water passing through it.
What really concerns me is the Copper and Lead showing in my results. My house has copper pipes which I have tapped in to because I don't have a choice. I feel that most houses actually have copper pipes somewhere in them. Could that really cause my copper problem?
The Lead really concerns me. I don't know if my RO/DI removes any of that or not but I carefully monitor the TDS and never let it get above 0. If I am reading that much Lead after my RO/DI filters the water then what must it be before it passes through that?
I know its been determined that marine pure blocks leach Al. Could the Siporax be responsible for some of the heavy metals in my water you think?
Below are my test results for you to view:
