Hi All,
Seeing some dead tips on a couple of my sps corals, and a 2-3 small colonies RNT'ed; rest of the sps (15 or so colonies) seem ok in my waterbox 180 (180 gallon total volume)... did an ICP (fauna marin) test, and as per usual, a few things seem out of whack... any comments about the possible culprits, and recommended actions (a few large waterchanges ?)

Boron: 6.78 mg/l (145.8 of ideal value)
Bromine 113 mg/l (173.8 of ideal value)
Lithium 1014 ug/l (382.6% of ideal value) * this seems like the highest of the bunch

thanks for your help!
