So my last 3 ICP Tests (Fauna Marin ICP) ICP 1 -3 have indicated low measures on various elements as selected below.
I am wondering if people have an opinion on whether it would be better to dose the elements or change salt mix with the view to correcting the tank?
I'm suffering a long battle with Dinos, holding off on addition of any new corals, I only have 2 softies in the tank (150G) 600L until I have this under control.
What does the community think about dosing or changing a sea salt to align the tank.
I am thinking change salt mix and move to new salt as a way to correct slowly over time?
all other major elements are in line with needs, Dosing silicates to battle dinos, wondering if this is a needed step to help correct chemistry in tank
Thanks
