Results in the 6's and at a loss for the source of the element. Could this be leaching from artificial "real reef rock"? Or its paint used to get the purple coraline feel? Maybe calc reactor reborn?

What's your vanadium on test result

Most common sources of contamination for Vanadium are
Trace mixes
Salt mix
Reef Ceramics
I do not believe Real Reef Rock is one of those sources, I have used it myself without excess Vanadium showing.

No trace mixes used
No salt - checked with other reefers using same salt on regular basis
I don't believe ceramic plugs in my tank would leach that amount to creep up to 5-10 levels
Trying to find out source of this for a while but no luck so far....

Would ceramic pump shafts fall under this list ?

I keep a good amount of sps and it's hard to say sometimes why some doing not too well but I'd say YES

I replaced my titanium heaters and removed all magnetic racks from my system( as I read they might cause issue) but it's still showing high on triton test after few months
Very annoying I can't track it

Can you list everything that you routinely add to you tank? As you say it is still high it points to either it still being added or in contact with the water.
Which salt brand did you use? Just because other did not have the contamination doesn't mean you haven't as some brands are not batch consistent.
What method are you currently using?
Any liquid feeds?
Bacteria?
I would not include pump shafts no.

Calcium reactor on reborn media, using esv salt, fish are fed mostly frozen -lrs and PE mysis(clean and rinsed and refrozen),was using some aminos diffrent brands but in 25% rec dose, iodine 50% rec dose also oyster feast but only occasionally
Vanadium levels on Triton tests:
12-15 5.99
4-16 7.37
7- 16 10.87
9-16 3.73
12-16 5.88
Thank you
