I should have done this months ago. I sent off a for a Trition ICP test and lo and behold, problems observed.
I've got quite high levels of Antimony, Tin, Vanadium, Zinc (among others).

In trying to figure out the cause, I noticed the screw on a gate valve in my sump was rusty. I removed it, but I'm curious/concerned if my test results are consistent with the screw being the cause, or perhaps only a part of the problem.
I know my PO4 is high, but that's been dealt with. I had some food fall into the tank. My PO4 is now testing at .03 ppm with just uptake via macro algae.
