Here are my current ICP results. The tank is my Eshopps M130 running since December 2025. Sps dominant. I thought I had my salinity pegged. I guess not. I dose AFR and Reef Energy AB+ daily. I do auto water change of 2 gallons daily

I don’t see anything particularly noteworthy.

I’d personally raise phosphate by feeding more.

Are you dosing magnesium? If you raise salinity, it will rise more.

I raised the magnesium about a month ago to what I thought was 1350 to 1400. But I don’t normally dose it. I will feed more. I already feed small amounts 5 times a day. I recently started feeding small amount of BRS Reef Chili after lights out and early morning. That was after this test. My Hanna and trident still showing .02. Thank you for the input

LIke Randy said nothing stands out.
Reef roids or chili for phosphate.
I dose iodine, manganese, florine, iron weekly. They get depleted quickly in my tanks.

OK, just don't dose any more magnesium since a salinity rise from 33 to 35 ppt will boost magnesium from 1400 to 1485 ppm.
