Recently tank went south over some nutrient export issues that have been rectified in the last month or so, I had some general questions on some of my trouble lamps and the levels. I do roughly 30g water changes @ 1.025 with Fritz every other week. Do not dose anything currently. Before I was dosing Zeo FWS and Coral Vit. I do have a Sulphur Denitrator which is on a fast drip and not fully open. Other than that I have a MTC Pro Cal reactor. I have plenty of water movement with 2x Gyre XF250's. Any other info is needed I will be glad to give that , thank you!
Elements
Ca - I know the level is high, issue resides from the calcium media in the denitrator dissolving as well as the calcium reactor. However based on this test it is going down since I got everything back on track as I had issues before.
Br - Bromide is in the yellow, doing some research and talking with some friends they have also had this on their reports. No other real knowledge for why it would be in the yellow.
B - Definitely above normal, I do not dose this and really wondering where it could come from, have some basic knowledge from Googling but it is seemingly not being depleted.
Mo - Molybdenum is really high, searching issues online I seem to find a lot so interested for some knowledge. Triton says possible trace element overdose?
I - Iodine is lower which I expected, I do not dose it. Should I be dosing it or will water changes be effective? (Bi-Weekly WC's)
Si - Scariest number of all when I first looked. I keep my RODI clean and always checking TDS of water leaving the unit. Resin always gets changed on time (Nuclear Grade Color Changing). Always gets flushed as well, only item I have not changed in last six months is the membrane. So this has me at a loss, interesting thing is I do not have a visible algae issue being a reason this caught me so off guard. I do not run any other reactors other than the Denitrator so no carbon or GFO.
I read the general help section for each lamp but was hoping for more info, any insight would be great and thank you for your time.
