Not enough polluters (fish) in the tank. Too much skimming. Running lights in your refugium too much. Etc.
No, potassium. Phosphate is present because I had dinos a long time ago and don't want them backI think you misread it as phosphate.
You misread my post of another person who I believe misread your post hahaNo, potassium. Phosphate is present because I had dinos a long time ago and don't want them back
I would guess lab error. I use Fritz RPM and do 10 gallon water changes weekly and consistently get 400ppm on icp tests(using ATI lab). Get a salifert test kit to confirm.I'm running the full method, so traces are being dosed with the majors.
Salt is fritz reef pro. Low skimmer production, but I do have a lot of chaeto.
Last water change was the day before the sample was collected, and was 30%. No water changes prior to that for at least two months. No indication of need for one, and it's not the triton method way. Last ICP test was January and results were all nominal.
Sent them an email to confirm test results
Good grief, you’re right. Can’t wait for Costco to have my new glasses ready. Geez.I think you misread it as phosphate.
Apologies!You misread my post of another person who I believe misread your post haha

Test in January had 394ppm, there's been no significant changes in mass or lighting schedule for chaeto. I regularly trim itNow that I know you are talking about potassium, chaeto does absorb that stuff at a high rate. If you look at the ingredients for ChaetoGro, potassium is one of the things it replenishes.
IIRC, potassium is about 1% of sea salt mixes. Doesn’t seem like much, but a zero reading is either a lab error or a huge mis-mix in the sea salt.Hi all,
I just got an ICP test back from Triton and got a reading of absolute zero for my potassium levels. This seems unusual. Any ideas on what might have caused this?
