I got my ICP test back today… and all I can say is I think it’s terrible… I’m in need of advice from someone who can read this and tell me what the best way to go is! What to dose… what to not dose… I also believe I have something leeching into my water.

The link should take you straight to my ICP analysis.

I hate the way they present all these ridiculous ratios instead of just a simple table of results. It makes it look like there’s more there, without adding value.

Calcium and potassium are low and should be raised.

Tin is high and copper is borderline. I might look to export them with a binder.

A trace element additive might be useful.

ok, do u use anything else to dose?
also how big is the tank
No not at the moment, it’s a 125G tank I haven’t figured out the dosing part. I have dosers I just haven’t figured them out or how to figure out how much to dose!
