This is my triton results. Should i dose tropic marin A and K and if so how much?

TM AFR contains TM A and K so I would not dose more and to me your ICP results look reasonable.

If you think corals are not looking great you can try to add extra and see how things change. If you decide to dose TM A and K start with 1/4 or less of the recommended dose…

Good luck,

I cannot get the link to work on my phone, but as a general rule icp-OES cannot really tell you about the suitability of some trace elements.

I’d try it at the recommended dose for a week or so and decide if anything looks improved.

let's talk about this...

Silicon

5947.00 µg/l

0 - 200 µg/l

do you have any reason why this Si is high? if you are dosing, stop for a while.
a ppm or so of Si is fine and probably beneficial, but this is way above any intentional target.

Yes im dosing silicate to beat dinos, it took me 2 months, but i was able to beat them so i stopped. But high silicate concentration in water have no impact on any corals in the water beside diatoms growth.
