ATI ICP Test Results

[crs751]

I submitted an ATI ICP test sample because i had some Acro die off a few weeks ago. The results came back pretty much in line with the exception of nutrients which to be honest my nitrates are rarely below the mid-20's. Minor trace elements seem to be lacking but are they a reason to be concerned? I use standard IO salt and have since I started the tank about 15- years ago. I appreciate the feedback.

A trace element additive might be useful and is worth considering.

The nitrate is not the issue.

Thanks Randy. Any recommendations for a trace additive?

Not a brand, no. Some company you trust.

Water changes might also help with the trace elements.

Perhaps a change in salt if you are trying to grow coral.

Thanks for the replies. To be honest I never had an issue with trace elements on the other ICP test reports. The regular IO mix seems to work for me. Don't know why this was depleted but will need to investigate further.
