Icp ms no.2

Not sure I’m happy with this or to do a decent water change to bring a couple of elements closer to natural ?

Observations from Christof were don’t let strontium get higher which I don’t know how other than reduce tropic Marin a elements
And the copper came from a cable that fell in the sump

Are you sure it's the A? I'm at 300ml to my gallon of ash and somehow everything is spot on except strontium which continues to come in low.

Sorry
Here’s the results

Nope it’s the K which I use a doser for

My bad yes the K. I do 300ml of each in my 2 part but like I said strontium continues to be low with all others in the good.

Strontium is only consumed by accidental incorporation into calcium carbonate. In a low calcifying tank, there may be too much in a generic additive.

Cheers boss
Will it not inhibit another process ?

So your using AFR And adding A and K manually ? Doesn't All For reef has Strontium and some other elements adding more with TM A and K would be raising more your strontiums as well

I don’t know what problems arise from excessive strontium, except more strontium in coral skeletons which may make them weaker.

Afr alone doesn’t provide enough trace so for a year I’ve been adding a and k in accordance with their instructions which is 2ml per 109ltr

I think your better using just one and then adding what ever element needs correction is better to be on the lower side then the higher side on elements. IMO
