Zinc & Nickel too high! Suspects?

[Reef Puncher]

i had high levels of tin and zinc, it stumped me for months. found out there was a hidden piece of metal i couldnt see in my sump that was rusting. i saw another post where the guy had high levels and his rodi filters wasnt properly filtering it out, he changed his canisters and it fixed his problem. if your next icp comes back high, then maybe do a dig into the system to look for metal?

Great feedback. Tue rodi idea is definitely worth a consideration.

If you confirm 0 ppm tds, then those things are not coming through the ro/di. :)

I can confirm 0 TDS. The ATI test results also confirm 0. However, my RODI filters are due for a change anyway, so that suggestion did remind me to put that on my to-do list.

Things look great, honestly. Corals are very happy. Polyp extension, growth and color is strong.

I always appreciate the guidance. Solid point.

Same. I've been running with Zinc at like 30 ug/l and lead at 11 ug/l for a few months as I look for the source. Everything in the tank (SPS & LPS) are happy and growing. So good advice Randy. :)
