Any thoughts on the claims of Fauna Marin according Tin in Reeftanks?
https://www.faunamarin.de/en/knowledge-base/tin/
statement:
Tin occurs in seawater up to 3 µg/l (0,26 US.liq.gal.) and should be kept below 10 µg/l (0,26 US.liq.gal.) due to its harmful effect on SPS. Tin concentrations above the recommended values can lead to creeping tissue detachment and death in fast-growing SPS.
Possible sources of tin include natural seawater, aquarium glass from unclean production (when setting up a new aquarium), adhesives and cements that use a tin catalyst. Frozen food and some feeds that use algae, phytoplankton or plant raw materials as well as clam meat are also possible sources. Frozen food such as artemia in particular is a strong source of tin.
The tin concentration can be reduced with Ultraphos 0.04.
The people who have high tin values : did you ever try to use phosphate removers based on aluminum? And do you use frozen Artemia ? And what is the link between Artemia and Tin?
