just got my test results in for the ICP. Need your help identifying what is out of whack in my tank so I can get it fixed.

Looks like I should dose some trace elements?

Aluminum at 41.26?

dealing with STN for a while on Acro, so would be great to nail it down

thanks!

I’ve had high Al for some reason when I was doing triton. Rowaphos and WC will bring it down, but be careful not to bottom out phosphate or you might end up with a dinoflagellate problem like I did. I still don’t know why Al was so high but it definitely killed a bunch of my sps. Look for any equipment that could possibly be leaching Al.

Oh my God, I'm an idiot lol. I had reversed my AI prime 16 HD mount on my AIO, to fit a small skimmer in the middle chamber. Only way it fits is if the plastic is facing outwards. I had the brushed ALUMINUM mount directly in the water... lol

Thanks just solved it for me
