Hi everyone. I just received my most recent (2nd) ATI ICP test results. The tank tested really well I thought but I’m low on some trace elements.
I understand the recommended doses to get back to ideal, but how do you maintain these numbers? I see trace element additives and such, but is it worth starting a new additive that contains most of the trace stuff? Or is it better to just add them once after a test? Or do you just roll with it assuming the salt mix will add them back into the tank?
I do a weekly 10-20% water change so obviously it’s not enough. The previous test was about 4 months ago and I was low on iodine so I bought the ATI brand iodine additive and dosed it over 3 days as recommended.
