Hi everyone,
I recently sent in an icp-ms test and the results came back pretty good for all major elements. However, my tank is nutrient and trace element deficient. I've already started feeding heavier (felt like I was already doing so, but evidently not heavy enough) and have bumped no3 up to 4 (Hannah checker). Polyp extension on my acros us noticeably better already.
My question is whether or not I should go full blown moonshiners or not? Colors on my acros are already pretty good, but growth has been lacking for most of them. Hence the reason why I did the icp test. I'm posting this here because the tank in question is acropora dominant and the acros are basically my only concern in the tank. Everything else is growing like a weed.
Here's the results from my icp. For those of you with first hand experience, please let me know what you think. Thank you!!
Fwiw, I plan to start adding a drop or two of lugols once a week to increase iodine (system is roughly 160g total water volume) and will send in another icp in a month or so to see where that's at.
