Another grossly elevated, zinc levels

[924er]

Hello, I just got my ICP test back from ATI. It’s showing an elevated zinc level of 48U/L I am sure that a few times I put my hand in the tank with lotion on it, but can’t think of any other contaminant. I checked all my gear for rust. I do use a poly filter at all times, but it seems like it hasn’t helped. I think inhabitants and coral look excellent. I’m wondering if I should venture into doing water changes, or use a metal removing product? Anything you can recommend? I’m also thinking to just take it slow and leave it alone since everything looks good. Thank you.

I'd start with water changes if you are really concerned about the zinc level. If you use clean hands and it doesn't go up again, good. If it does go up, consider alternatives.
