ATI ICP Results Review

[Thakki]

Hello,

My ATI ICP test results are here. Can you guys take a look and comment/recommend changes?

Display tank water: https://lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/521afa377eef7b6c7971

RODI water: https://lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/1b4b5ccb82f35894c4cf

Some questions I have:
- Do I really need to worry about the some of the elements that seem to be on the lower side like Molybdenum, Vanadium etc?
- CA is already adjusted...its in 440 range now.
- My RODI water seems to have high silicates as per test results...is it of any concern?

Thanks!

That is not the correct way to share results-- cannot be opened.

Typically you can ignore those trace metals that are low.

High silicates is a concern- grows algae. There are special DI cartridges dedicated to Silica.

I changed all the filters less than 4 months ago. I think I don't have this special cartridge for eliminating silica. Will think about it. Thanks!

I would check with the testing company you are using. As others have said - the numbers look 'ok'
