Hi Randy,
I have been experiencing STN (it takes them about 2 weeks to strip) on my acropora for the past few weeks and decided to send water samples for ICP-OES testing (Marinlab from Aquaforest). The results came in and it seems like I have very high levels of Al (0.1310), high Salinity (38ppt), high Ba(0.1680) as well as slightly elevated Zn (0.0095) and Li (0.2160), though these last two seem to be just ever so slightly elevated and could perhaps be due to the high Salinity(?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Vasco
