Help with ATI test result recommendations

[chicago]

I have my ATI test results back. There are recomendations and a bit confused. The suggestion states to add a certian amount of Zinc Iodine Iron ect. Two questions, are all products the same for this. I have a number of these specific supplements I ordered from BRS. Many are from "reeflab" and only the flourine supplement is from Triton .
My thought is. Doesn't the purity level of the additive vary from manufacturer to manufacturer? Similar to when I make a batch of calcium for dosing.. If i mix a gallon of water with 2 cups that will be stronger than a gallon with one cup. Second question I do not understand the alternative method on Iodine recommendation? 1000 ML vs 100 ML. I am attaching the recommendations section of the test results.. ( I believe mine are depleting because of m Algae Scrubber)

Thank you

I would never bother to add barium to a reef tank. I know some additives contain it, but no known organism has any demonstrated need for it.

You could start just with a simple mix like Tropic Marin A and K. Exact numbers are not needed. Having enough of important trace elements without having them be so high they are toxic is all that is needed. Having enough does not mean the icp company target levels. Those are often natural seawater levels, not the minimum acceptable level.

The ONLY elements I choose to dose are the ones I can get by without measuring every week. And those that have actually documented benefits

So for me those were Managanese and Iron, and I dose with DIY solutions.

These are rapidly deleted elements in photosynthesis and overdosing is really hard
