ICP Elevated Silver (Ag)

[Z Burn's Reefing]

Just got back the result from my latest monthly ICP.

Out of the blue, silver came back elevated:

Should I chalk it up as an erroneous result? Or take it serious and do a round of water changes? Would activated carbon help?

I honestly have never had silver come up before so am a little confused on where it could be coming from?

All thoughts and insights are much appreciated! Tank seems ok.

This datapoint seems concerning, but I don’t know enough to weigh in from experience. I’m interested to follow the discussion and learn more. I know your tank is looking “ok” though
Also curious to know what we would be looking For with this. You definitely seem to have good coral health.

Without the forum’s input my action would be water change and carbon more research into metazorb. Then Trying to figure out if it’s erroneous or you have a real issue or source. Maybe this calls for a stat follow up or trying a test with higher sensitivity?

I was chatting with you on IG about growouts upcoming. I’m @sandlapperaquaculture over there.
