ICP test results

[JSpen]

So I’ve been having trouble with sps having STN after about a week or two. I just received my test relays back and would love to see what people think would cause this. My alk, calc, mg are all super stable and alk fluctuates 8.7-8.5 daily.

I'm following this.

I wonder if you would benefit from some trace element solution (like tropic marin or esv's). Im curious, hows the flow and nitrate level?

Flow is solid. It’s a 80 gallon shallow reef and I have a gyre 4K , mp10, and a sicce sdc xtreme. For nitrates last time I tested they were around 10 and phosphates were close to zero.

also euphylia and zoas are doing great.

Also didn’t know if the copper level and aluminum levels would pose any concern.

I think those are so low that it wouldn't cause a problem.

I agree.

Also agree that a trace element supplement may be beneficial. I don't really see a reason for a problem with corals.
