So on the triton calculator I’m trying to figure out the correct dose
So using iron as an example , aiming for .8 how much correction and how much daily?

Note: I’m dosing
Iron
Manganese
Molybdenum
Vanadium
Iodine
Strontium

Also , is lanthanum dangerous?

Why are you asking?

I would not be sure you need those, since Triton cannot detect natural levels of some (unless they have changed methods). But they are telling you how much of their supplement to dose.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about what are good target levels?

Why are you asking?

Cos it’s in my water , is it lanthanum chloride?
It’s never shown up bedore

I’m asking how much iron to add and if you explain how you get to that number I can figure out the rest
Thanks boss

If you are not dosing it, the levels are not excessive and I'd ignore it. :)

So you are supplying a target concentration value, or you want me to?

I am dosing .7ml per day

Well I was aiming for .8

Back up. My post was about lanthanum, which you said you are not adding.

You want to know how much iron to get to 0.8 ug/mL iron in the tank, starting with none, dosing what? Tritons additive? if so, use exactly what they calculate for you.

 

[scotty333]

I wanted the amount to get to .8 and 5 days worth of dosing ( in ato)
I went with 10ml then when that’s emptied I’ll go 1ml per day

Sounds fine, though the level may never rise that way. Depletion may be as fast as the addition.

I was previously dosing .6 a day so maybe 1ml will get me a reading at least
Let’s see

OK, but I'll also not that you may already have plenty of iron in the tank water. .

I didn’t put it on my trace elements list because I didn’t know it was

Why does the icp show 0?

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

Why does the icp show 0?

Presumably because they detect none. They also cannot detect natural surface seawater levels.

They can’t detect 1 ug/l ?
