Is this a number to be concerned about? Triton ICP test claims it is through their recommendations, and could be the reason for cyano (I do have some in my sump on top of chaeto), and that it can be from trace elements. I’m dosing Aquavitro Fuel which does contain molybdenum, so I’m trying to figure out if I should stop dosing or if it’s fine to continue…

Little more of an inquiry after I was hunting around online last night and looking for input- context is a little out of place since I copy/pasted from a note so I didn’t lose track

ICP test popped a few elements low, a couple being:
bromide
iodine

However high in:
molybdenum (maybe contributing to cyano issue in sump)

Aquavitro Fuel has these elements, and for some reason the molybdenum is creeping up. Should I pull the plug on Fuel for a while? I saw a product called MicrobeLift that I could dose while holding off on Fuel til molybdenum settles down a bit? Any thoughts?
