Hi, I sent in a icp test and the results came back saying I have 10 ug/l. I’m a little concerned about this because my last icp test 1 year ago had 6ug/l of iron. I’ve looked every where for a contamination source and the only thing I could find is a rusty clamp not in tank and door hinge not in tank. Any idea on what could be causing this iron. I use a 4 stage brs rodi filter with 0 tds after and about 3-10 tds before on the built in tds meter. And use tropic Marin pro reef salt. I just started using nyos gfo in gfo reactor however that is after I sent in the icp test not before

No I’m using city water

Are you seeing adverse effects on your tank?

As I understand it, the ICP test was of your city water. But you should be more concerned with what comes out of your RODI system.
