Hi I'm new to marine and can't make sense on what I need to do with my results

I used calibration fluidI also use a refractometer.
How do you calibrate it?
Any opinion on the results to help the OP?An icp test huh? Does this determine if you're a juggalo? HahHa
So I guess do a few water changes with with lower salinity should sort itHi @Cnharrison .
You have some elevated parameters.
But more important by looking at your Sodium and Sulphur numbers your salinity is probably in 1.029/1.030.
Probably you are reading your salinity wrong.
What device you use?
You must correct it before going to trace elements analysis.
Correcting your salinity probably will correct your magnesium, potassium, etc numbers.
Just used a different device now it's reading 1.030Yes.
But more important is to know what value you read with your device.
Most probably there is an error in the result.
Or the calibration fluid is not OK or the device.
Will that sort out everything elseLike @Bapeluso said you can change some saltwater to rodi freshwater to level it.
So take out about 10l of water and replace with roYes it probably will or at least be close. Most salts contain various minerals to help promote fish and coral health. That being said, removing some saltwater decrease the salinity as well as the other nutrients that you currently have an abundance of. The result should leave you approximately where you need to be. If I had to give an estimate, itd be about a buckets worth
