Anything Concerning in these ICP Test Results?

[JCas06]

Hello all,

I have another thread on hear describing some issues I have been having with my coral. Specifically SPS. So last week I sent off some water samples to ICP-Analysis.com as well as ATI Labs. Last night I had my TSA Fruity Pebbles frag RTN and noticed both my Oregon Tort frags starting as well. Fruity Pebbles actually had some polyp extension the last few days as well so I was hoping it was on the mend and going to recover. Anyways, just want to make sure nothing in these results could be the reason I am having such trouble.

I have attached the ICP-Analysis Salt Water Test Results, ATI RODI Results, and ATI Salt Water Results

Thank you,
Jason

Nothing jumps out except salinity is high.

You might benefit from a trace element supplement (iron, manganese, etc.).

My salt water results for ATI show I have 20.03 µg/l of aluminum. ICP-Analysis.com shows .04 ppm in my salt water. I suppose this is because I use NSW from South Florida which ICP=Analysis.com says contains .07 ppm. However they suggest 0 ppm is best. ATI has aluminum listed as a pollutant but gave it a green check. Is this anything to worry about?

I do not believe those levels of aluminum are a concern. :)
