Good afternoon reefers
I have a complete 410 liter system and recently in ICP analysis I get 172.00 µg/l of Aluminum. As a corrective measure, I will carry out 15% water changes for 1 month and I have searched the entire system and initially I do not have any contaminating material within the system.
It is important to tell you that I have also performed ICP on the ROD and I do not get any aluminum. The aquarium is very young, barely 3 months old, and as a biological filter material I have
-1 unit of Xport-BIO Biological Filtration Dimpled Brick- Brightwell Aquatics.
-1 unit of Xport-NO3 Biological Filtration Plate - Brightwell Aquatics.
I try to find in internet info about the composition of these blocks, but both the manufacturer and some distributor confirm that they only have Aragonite and do not release Aluminum and/or silicates.
Can you please help me
Thanks
Regards
