The strontium is nothing to worry about. But that iodine -- wow. Not sure how to address aside from water changes (which would take care of the nickel, too). Any idea how the iodine got that high?

Do you dose anything that might have iodine in it, or do you feed a lot of seaweed?

A product such as Metasorb or a Polyfilter may help reduce the nickel. I don't know if it is high enough to be a concern, however.

I agree the strontium is fine.

Thanks for your inputs.
What would you guys recommend me to do about the Iodine?

Triton cannot reveal what form it is, and iodine can be in many (iodide, iodate, and various organics, for example). So one cannot easily know how to reduce it, or if it is even needed.

It might also be an error by Triton.
