ICP results. Is there a common fix all for the low elements here?

[kerdan]

I have had several other tests done with Triton and did not have any deficiencies except high iodine.
I dose B-Ionic so I know my high lithium is a result (about to find other alternatives).
I was regularly dosing Replenish and iodine by Brightwell also color enhancer by Korralen Zuct. This was leading to high iodine. I backed off and now my test is lacking in areas that these additives don’t include.
The plan is to read through to minimize multi bottle use if possible. Mixed but sps dominate and thriving outside of Acro color concentration. Acros look great just a few of them aren’t as vibrant as I would like.
Flourine and supper are the ones I can not identify in my additives.
Thanks for any advice.

Depends on how much you want to get into things. There are systems where you can dose individual elements, or you can switch to salts that have higher levels of elements.

What salt mix are you using and what's your water change schedule?

RPM is the salt with 2 gal daily change (apex) in a 140 with about 30 in the sump.

Take a look here and compare. Here are ICP tests for most common salt brands and some ICP tests done by fritz. It might be enough to just change salt mix. Alternatively, there's absolutely no shortage of additives you can use.

You are doing 8% water change a week which is a little low but still within the standard range. Unless your corals are huge you may want to try out a different salt and see if that gets you more balanced. That said there are many trace elements dosing systems out there. One of the easiest to use is the Captiv8 Isol8 MT. It is very concentrated so you can dilute it in distilled water and put on a doser. Similarly Tropic Marine and an A + K system which covers a wide range of trace elements.

For comparison here is my last ATI ICP-MS test. I use the Nyos Pure salt and do 12% weekly water change with no special dosing of trace currently but I used to dose the Captiv8:

This type of icp does not really tell you much about most trace
Elements. Icp-ms is needed for all of those needed elements where “none detected” is normal in this report. It may be abnormally low and you would not know it.

If the tank seems to not be thriving optimally, a supplement such as Tropic Marin A and K might be a fine experiment to see if it changes anything.
