Full disclosure, this is my first ICP test...
The results are a little hard to accept, especially for Sr, Br, and B. I use ESV B-Ionic 2 part which contains all of these elements.
Another concern is the various metal concentrations. I do dose ChaetoGro which contains these particular elements but not at sufficient concentrations to account for this, especially considering I only dose it at half the recommended dosage.
And lastly if my PO4 is really as high as this test indicates I should have a some very noticeable algae which I do not.
I am not having any major issues, my montis are not looking as happy as they normally do but that’s about it. Their color is slightly pale vs normal. My tank is loaded with SPS, my acros are growing, so what am I not understanding about these results? I did the test out of curiosity because I found it in a drawer. I had purchased it 3 years ago and did not use it at the time.
