Frogspawn Help

[FlameangelLover]

Hello guys all my torches and hammers look super happy but for some reason my frogspawn don’t. Is there a specific element they need that maybe I don’t have enough of? Even my Gonis are out.

Alk 8.8
Mag 1200
Cal 430
Po4 0.07
N 5

Manganese and Iodine are often low to zero. I don't know if this would help or not however.

Probably a good idea to do an ICP-MS test and see where your elements are at.

Will do thanks my guy!

I did a ICP test on March 25th and it said my manganese was not detectable and Iodine looked fine. It also said. I had high zinc could that be it?

Pictures can help, its very hard to diagnose "not as super happy as the others" which is the only clue that you've given us.

High zinc could definitely be the issue.. Dont know how high it was on the ICP.. Corroding hardware, rusting magnet mounts are both common causes for high zinc

Any tips on what to do next?

The easy start is to manually inspect equipment to see if it may be leaching from any of that.

I believe running carbon can remove it, but I'd probably post the question in Randy's reef chemistry forum for other answers. You can use cuprisorb to remove it as well.
