How do these ICP numbers look?

[BriDroid]

I’ve done 2 ICP tests over the last couple of months. The first one was a total ICP with RODI water, just to get a baseline. My second was just a regular ICP test. Can anyone give their opinion on what I’m seeing? Growth is good, I’m dosing All For Reef and doing daily 2% auto water changes. I started adding the minimum dose of A and K elements a few times a week as well.

Looks fine, but I would personally use a different company.

This one doesn’t seem to have salinity alkalinity nor nitrates? Also harder to read

Also never seen Fe and Manganese as not nd

Yeah, the salinity, alk and NO3 are only if you spend the money on the total test. That is why they are in the first test. The second test is just for traces mostly, I wanted to see if A and K were doing anything. I do think I'm going with a different company in the future though.

Even with stuff showing high or low here and there, my tank looks great and corals are growing. I may just do one once a year going forward and not worry about the numbers.

Yea I don’t really follow any guidelines for trace elements in any ICP test unless they are absurd numbers
