Copper still kicking my butt in DT

Oh i apologize i posted the RODI analysis, this is the tank one

Much better! Makes so much more sense now!

Yes lol also my iodine and boron seem to be low. They suggested i do water changes but i dont wanna risk bringing dinos back.

IMO, those are not very important.

Not sure where the antimony is coming from. I've not seen many reports of it being elevated.

Wikipedia says it has uses in solder. Drip any accidentally?

No i havent added anything in ny tank expect kalkwasser to it, i checked and said it moght be from a broken heater but i checked mines 2 weeks ago and where perfectly fine ( heaters are less then 2 months old.) Could that be the cause of all this? I also see its saying salinity is at 32.62 which is kinda low considering that ny milwaukee shows its at 1.025.

Not off by much. sg = 1.025 is about 33 ppt.

Yesterday the last 3 head of acans i had lost the last 2 heads it had did a polyp bailout aswell. My zoas arw slowly opening up though.

Hmm i wonder what can be the issue, tbh i was expecting the icp test to come back much worse since i cant keep lps or sps alive.

Also i would imagine aluminium must be leaching from the marinepure blocks.

This article suggests that 11 ug/L Sb is the no effect level in marine systems (page 15):

Interesting read gonna have to do a couple of water changes and maybe add a polyfilter again ( althougb im not sure if it removes that). I doubt my mp40s can be leaching that the only option is the heaters. Since the RODI came back completely clean of everything.

This is what ati told me to do

IMO, fluoride is possibly useful, but not likely you'll see any apparent benefit. Same, IMO, for iodine, but it is easier to dose as it depletes rapidly.

Interesting thanks again randy! I guess ill start doing water changes again hopefully the dinos dont come back wish me luck!

Also one last question, do you suggest i remove my marinepure blocks as thats whats been known to leech AL? My nitrates usually stay low regardless i just dont know if it will cause an ammonia spike by removing them. Doubt the marinepure is whats leaching antimony though.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I don't think the aluminum is high enough to hurt corals, but I also do not think removing the blocks will cause any harm.

So antimony is the only possible problem then

Or something not tested.

Some of the trace elements may be too low (e.g., zinc, manganese, iron, etc.) and a supplement may help.

Pehaps thats due to me not doing a water change in 2 months while i was fighting dinos but now that they are gone should be ok.
