For some reason I have elevated iron and I don't know why. I don't have metal clamps etc. All new high end equipment on a 7 month old tank. External pumps and powerheads. The only thing that could be leaching this is my skimmer pump that doesn't appear to have anything visible causing leaching. No cracks etc.
I'm not sure if it could be a contaminate of the salt, or bulk dosing calcium. I haven't needed to dose mg. And since every other element is spot on with the exception of iodine (none), and zero contaminated metals, I can't image it would be passing through my ro/di. City water with 106 tds pre-ro unit, 4 month old filters. I did add an inner capful of "fuel" for a few weeks, but that was at least 2 months ago. Possibly leaching from marine pure. I don't know.
@Randy Holmes-Farley, I read your iron article. You didn't mention specific numbers. Is this a potential problem or could the test be measuring other things bound with it, and do you think could be a concern?
Also I used 1/2 cup iron based gfo for the first two months the tank was cycling, but never since. 10% average weekly water changes since cycled.
