As the title states, I just got my first ICP test back from ICP testing.com. Overall, my parameters were close to some other reefs that they had as benchmarks but I was curious on a couple of items:
My tank is roughly 200 gallons of water but I forgot how much rock work I have in it. I use a Geo Reef calcium reactor and modified my BRS Dual reactor to have both chambers filled with 2 Fishes Reborn media. I also dose AF Fish and Coral Vitamins with my phtyo and reef roids. I do not use GFO, preferring to go naturally with macro algae in my fuge. I do use about 1 cup of carbon in a next reef reactor.
Based on the results, should I be concerned with the following:
Aluminim
Arsenic ( Not sure where this is coming from )
Chromium
Lithium
How do I get rid of these heavy metals? Can I use a poly filter or something related? I use Instant Ocean salt and do about 30 gallon water change every 5-6 weeks, depending on when my trumpet corals tell me to do one. They tend to look deflated and after a WC, they plump back up again.
