I just got my Triton results back and there are a couple of concerns and some interesting observations.
I'm pretty pleased with my test kits compared to the results. PO4 was spot on (Hanna ULR). Calcium was a little low 455 (Salifert) with Triton measuring 471. Magnesium was not as good 1425 by Salifert and the Triton results showing 1531.
My concerns were #1 Sulfur, my test showed my level to be 1/3 higher than desired with my level being 1192 and the desired level 900. #2 Lithium was more than twice normal at 418 with 200 the desired level.
Where would elevations of Sulfur and Lithium come from? What kind of problems could this cause? I'm using IO salt.
The intersting thing was that I've had Marine Pure blocks x2 in my sump for about 15 months and the Aluminum level was acceptable.
