I recently did a Triton ICP test and my results were really good but my Iodine and Potassium was low. Iodine was 22 µg/l and the setpoint is 30 - 90 µg/l. My potassium was 331 mg/l and the setpoint is 380 - 480 mg/l. It gave me recommendations on how to correct it and I bought the product they said to get.
I am nervous about dosing potentially hazardous elements without regular testing myself so I bought Red Sea Trace-Colors Pro test kit. I ran the Iodine test and the reading is 0.03ppm. I have no idea how that correlates to 22 µg/l and so I have no idea what I should dose to raise it up. That is my first problem.
My next question is, should I go ahead and dose what Triton recommends? I did the test on March 3 and I have done a water change since then and I have another water change to do tomorrow.
Or, should I not really worry about it since the Iodine and potassium is not that low and my regular water changes are probably sufficiently replacing trace elements?
Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
