No. Room temperature, but I don't think there is anything wrong with heating it (although you are introducing one more item/variable, the heater, in the test solution).@Dr. Jim remind me, in your test did you have the RO water heated?

What was the PH of the RODI? I'm sorry if I missed that...The RODI water I used was NOT acidic so that wasn't the cause.
I never stated a pH, but my RODI water is generally slightly basic.What was the PH of the RODI? I'm sorry if I missed that...
I just got my icp results back and it came back showing I have heavy amounts on tin in my aquarium. I recently added a frag tank to my system and plumbed it with vinyl tubing from the Home Depot.
I’ve been reading older post where other reefers have gotten high Tin readings when usinga HD vinyl tubing. Unfortunately I’m using 12’ of both 1/2” and 1” tubing.
It looks like everyone is having better luck with the Tygon brand hose but I can’t seem to find it in stock or better yet locally without having to buy a 50’ roll.
i was wondering if anyone has tested or has experience high Tin reading using the BRS black vinyl tubing since this seems to be my most readily available one at the moment.
I can understand that. The more I dig in, it looks like tin is used in A LOT of plastics manufacturing. I wouldn't know what to eliminate... Do you have any oddball pieces of equipment? Something cheap you found on amazon perhaps? Def rule the tubing out if you can but if I'm using standard hobby items used by thousands (millions?) I'd be looking for something that stood out from the crowd, like a cheap no brand ph I bought on amazon or something... Not trying to de-rail ya, just help, sorry if I did
That’s one thing I wanted to know, I understand it’s high but how high is it . But based on my coral this morning it’s too highI'm not convinced that level is enough to be a problem, but one cannot know for sure by ICP since it doesn't identify the chemical form of tin present, and they will certainly vary in toxicity.
