ICP test result
Above is the link to my ICP test that was taken 23 days after I set up my tank, I received the results last night after a long wait. I had done a 15% and 5% Wc by chance in the interim. last night i dosed triton detox in an effort to reduce the levels. I will perform 2 more 25% WC in the next days and then send a test off.
now, this water was 23 days old!
the RO sent with the sample was also tested and it was fine apart from silicates.
The salt I used was Fauna Marin pro and I have used it for years with no issues.
I checked my vortechs and they were all fine except 1 had a hint of rust at the bottom of one shaft. I will replace this wetside today.
I have checked for screws, blades etc. that have fallen into the tank, nothing.
The rock I used was dry live rock that was previously bleach cured and the salt water cured for 2 months.
I have installed a chiller coil that sits directly in the water, but its Titanium (or so I was told) and there is no signs at all of corrosion.
Could there have been some residual metals on this that were left from manufacturing? or could it be from the glass?
at this time I am at a loss and have lost some corals as a result.
