Hi guys,
I have just got my first ICP test results and would really appreciate it if some of you experienced reefers would be so kind as to help me with the results!
I have a Red Sea Reefer 200 XL G2 which is 7 months old, everything has been going pretty well up until about 2 months ago when my zoas stopped opening. I thought it best to get a ICP test but unsure on the results apart from quite a bit of red!
From the test it would seem I am low on quite a lot of trace elements so plan to start dosing as I currently don't dose anything apart from a touch of baking soda every now and again to keep my Alk up.
Alk 8.2
Nitrates 16
PH 8.4
These have all been pretty stable for quite a few months. I don't have any major algae issues and some corals seem to be doing OK, my Duncan has formed new heads and I have a gsp on the back glass which is spreading,my acan has formed new heads, it just seems to be the zoas...
Thanks for any advice!
