Hi guys I got my first icp back this week , and the results were shocking . My refrigium
Had not been taking off , and I had 4 shrimp die which I put down to a ammonia spike . However got my triton results and had high levels of copper nickel and vanadium .
I have checked all the equipment and can’t see any rusting components and all is brand new .
My question is I used about 40kg of Carib sea Hawaiian black live sand , could this be what is leaching metals into my tank . I have run a magnet over it and some particles are magnetic . Which I thought as magnetic must be metal ? Could this be leaching those particular metals ?
I have performed a 30% water change added detox then will be performing more water changes . Any ideas ?
