Hello all,
I’m working on a Goniopora/ anemone species tank. I’ve had tremendous success with Goniopora before I had a tank crash. My Goinis have not been opening so I ordered a ICP test from ATI and here are the results. Any thoughts ?

Are you dosing trace elements?

Iron is strangely high if you are not dosing it.

Iodine (not a trace element) is high too. I'd stop if you are adding it.

Are you adding silica? Do you have any diatom issues? If not, don't worry about silicate.

Overall, I don't see things that are likely to be an issue from being too high.

Some trace elements might be usefully added. Manganese, for example, Maybe others such as cobalt, chromium, etc.

I did have a iron mishap yes but since have stopped dosing and did a few star changes. I do not add silica and I am not sure what that’s from but have no diatom issues.
Do you have a suggestion to trace elements dosing product?. I did here Goniopora like the manganese.

Thanks for the help as always !
