Hi R2R,

I just got my first ICP results back and I have a few things low & elevated.

Are any of them cause for major concern, and if so, what can I do to remedy them?

Couple notes:
Tank is about 14 months old.
Silicon is high in tank because I am dosing for SCA Dinos.
I use Reef Crystals.
I've been dosing Aquaforest LifeSource Mud, could that explain some elevated levels?

Thank You!

RODI is interesting. I am guessing they/you used silicon grease on the plumbing?

The Tank numbers are likely reflecting salt mix levels and stuff in the mud? I suspect there is no Manganese in RC?

A small amount of algae growth can strip manganese from seawater. Like iron, it is one of the faster depleting ions.

Nothing else looks like a significant concern, unless tin rises further.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
