Is there a list of which trace elements are in each red sea trace bottle?
I see most if the C bottle is listed on the site, but not the others.
The reason i ask is.. after my icp test i have some elements that are high, and i' wondering if i'm overdosing 1 or more bottles.
thank you

Yes (somewhat):

A: Iodine, Bromine and Flourine
B: Potassium and Boron
C: Iron, manganese, cobalt, copper, aluminum, zinc, chrome and nickel
D: Bioactive trace elements 18, not listed)

D would probably contain elements like strontium, chromium, etc.

I got that off the website, but i was hoping someone might have found the full lists of non labeled elements

Based on the Nyos trace elements I'm using, it would probably include: strontium, barium, chromium, molybdenum and lithium (only 5/18).

yeah, that's not a thing they'll tell you, see email in quote below. just have to guess. :)

I don't intend this as a knock on red sea ABCD. I use it sometimes.
But it doesn't tell much specific info either.
It tells you the amounts for 1 element each in A, B, and C. There is no way to know if any of the others in ABC are provided in relevant amounts.
Part D they want you to know there are 18 elements, but they will only tell you 4 of them.
email I got form them....
"And as for part D - Bioactive Elements, we listed 4 main elements (of 18 traces) as Silver, Gold, Vandium, and Tungsten. These are in traces amount, undetectable by our hobby test kits, and only recommended to dose based on the aquarium calcium consumption. Any elements not listed are considered a part of our trade recipe and unfortunately we cannot share this information. "

So forget specifying that there are relevant amounts, they won't even tell you what the 14 other elements are.

Strontium, barium, chromium, molybdenum, lithium, silver, gold, vandium and tungsten (9/18 at least).

lol

Gold in a supplement. They probably ran a sensitive enough test and found it as an impurity in another ingredient (Brightwell likely does this too with magnesium in kalk+2).

The gold is obviously of no value.

It's bling for the fish. :grinning-squinting-face:
