My first ICP test on my 8 month old tank came back today, and I see some ALARMING results.
My tin levels seem to be through the roof, and some signs of aluminum and copper in my tank.
I am really concerned as I don't know where the source could be. It is a brand-new tank and stand (around 8 months old), and all the equipment is brand new so what could be leaching this much SN into my tank? I have seen some recent STN on my acro colonies, and if I move them into an old tank, they come right back to life full color and STN stops.
I have 1 marine pure bio block in there, and 1 column of Eshoppes bio block thing in there as well. I have heard they can leach aluminum, but this much tin too? That seems like a crazy high amount of SN.
I need to isolate what is causing this and remove it. Open to all suggestions.
