Last month my Triton ICP test showed Copper: 8.846 µg/l and Zinc: 20 µg/l
I ran some DETOX. I also used magnets on an a pole to run through the display/sump for any metal pieces, but found nothing. I don't use hand lotions but thought perhaps the soap I use might be an issue. So I've become much more aware about washing and not putting my hands in the tank. But here are my results a month later:
I've been having some Nitrate issues so I've already been doing several water changes over the last 4 weeks, (20% every 3-4 days) and I don't think contaminated salts are the issue as I switched from Red Sea Pro back to Tropic Marin and the Zinc results are the same. Triton suggests that contaminated trace elements could also be the issue... Could AcroPower be causing this? My only other thought is the Alkatronic "waste" but that seems pretty far fetched.
Any thought on where I should be looking?
