Also, my aluminum is high and I have seen a lot about the bacteria blocks leaching aluminum? Is there any truth to this? and what can I do to remove it?
Iodine is low and there are lots of different iodine products as well…

I just need help

Thanks
 
Can I ask what issues your tank is facing that have caused you to turn to ICP?

Mainly routine check, my corals seem ok but not thriving.
My Digi’s aren’t dying but hardly any polyp extension and color not great but have been slowly getting better.
I lost a couple of gonis, while one Is doing good and a alveopora is doing great.
Lost a frogspawn head, the other is not extending like it was. One torch is splitting a third head but not as extended as it was, while another has great extension, and a couple more aren’t extending like they were.

Mainly to see where I was at and compare for the accuracy of my home test.
Have had a little trouble with some corals while others doing well.
Lost a frogspawn head and another along with a few torches aren’t extending like they were. But one torch has great extension still, and another looks to be splitting a third head.
Lost a couple of Goni’s, one not doing well but still hanging on, but have another Goni and Alveopora thriving.
 
Should I do a large water change?
What out of range elements are most important or harmful?
What iodine do I need to dose?
High calcium? Effects? How to mitigate?
 
also curious that Hannah checker tested calcium at 470 and ICP test showed 542 ??
