Recived my triton results.
I'm a bit low on nickel,vanadium,zink and manganese.

I have a 180g sps reef thats working fine with good color and growth.
I use kalkwasser mixer for my ato and a calcium reactor (deltec pf601s) with arm media.
Fosphate removal i have used mostlly seachem phosguard, i use seachem poshbond now.
It seems like a good idea to cut back on amount of media used based on aluminuim levels and very low phoshate.
Molybdenium is a bit high, i dont know why.
Waterchange is on average 30% once a month, with red sea pro salt and ro/di water 0 tds.

What will it be good for to raise trace elements i mentioned above ?

Since your color and growth is good I don't recommend making any large changes to the way you run things. You could experiment with some small dosing of each of the elements mentioned above, just use one at a time and see if you notice any increased coloring or overall health. I would start with the zinc. Once we started dosing zinc, some of the reds in the coral really came on strong. This is purely anecdotal I might note. Good luck and go slow!
