Found this in my ATI analysis in my RO/DI bucket its the only thing that was observed in the RO/DI water. Any idea if it's toxic at this level and how to remove it/prevent it from continuing? This RODI system is the BRS 5 filter one and this is after about a month of using it, not sure if it's...

Steps 4-6 to maximize ICP use

Steps 1-3 to maximize ICP use

Long story short my tank crashed, I found my nero pump controller sitting in my sump (photos below). I immediately did an icp test find results below. I’ve been doing several waterchanges and running carbon between the crash to now. As per my icp test is it safe to assume the metal in the tank...

I've now had a second ICP returned indicating low sodium and hence low PSU, latest 29.30PSU! Last ICP was 30.70, which ended up scrabbling with multiple refractometers and calibration fuilds making me happy my tank was at 35ppt. Mg and K are at the low end, but Ca is normal. These are were I...

So at Aquashella Orlando I picked up a Reef-Labs icp test. They were BOGO. I just got back the results and I just feel like the tank I’m looking at should be way worse, my tank looks great by the way. Also, how does lead end up in my tank. We are in a 5 year old home with pvc plumbing and have...

I have a 400 gal system so I don't realistically try to manage minor and trace elements by doing 20% weekly water changes. I manage them with a 10% monthly slow drip water change, dosing procedures involving Tropic Marin's K/A/C products, ICP testing, and manual adjustments. I've been using...

Ohhhhhhh boy people. Okay so need some help I did my first ever ICP test. And I almost wish I hadn’t. Apparently there’s allllll sorts of metals in there and and I’m confused about iodine and some other things. If any one’s willing and understands any of this stuff please feel free to look over...

[updated Jan 24, 2022] I did a thing! I was reading over on another thread earlier today after searching for info on how much of something to dose after receiving a recent ICP-Analysis test. The issue was, my ICP Analysis tells me how much I need to dose to get to the target levels, but the...

What's the longest anyone had to wait after Triton received your sample for the results?

Is ICP testing really nessesary? Would love to hear the thoughts you have on this. In my humble opinion ICP testing is a piece of the puzzle I which we are able these days to keep so many different types of corals and often in the same tank. The older hobbyists maybe know that back in the...

Hello Reefers, I hate to do posts like these but I feel it’s necessary to grow as a community and to hold vendors accountable. I sent out an ICP from @Fauna Marin to their Ft Myers location which got delivered on July 23rd. It’s August 8th and they have not given me the results back. The most...

Please help identify why my mag levels are rising (from my testing) I suspect faulty salifert kit, but would welcome other ideas. The issue I'm seeing is increasing Mag levels, in the last few weeks my mag has been increasing, until mid July was hovering between 1300-1450 ppm (I'm using...

Hi! I got ICP test results a few days ago which indicated high levels of tin (Sn = 25) and Aluminum (Al=82) (pic below) What could the reason(s) for the fore mentioned elevated level of Tin and Aluminium? There some things which I suspect caused these elevated levels, please let me know what...

I have been having issues with my reef tank, no new corals are surviving and all past corals have since died. I had posted another post explaining all my reef issues over the past year and someone suggested I do this test to see if theres anything that stands out that could be killing my corals…...

I know I ALWAYS have a little ‘test anxiety’ when performing my water tests every week (alk every other day). I always hope everything turns out well and it usually does. Problem is, when it doesn’t (or I have missed a few weeks of testing), it can sometimes bring on a little panic as the...

For the last several weeks, my Hanna checker has shown my tank to have roughly 500ppm calcium. I was alarmed by this because I don't dose calcium and have no idea where the extra calcium could come from. I decided to test my water mix (Instant Ocean at 1.024 specific gravity) with an ICP and...

Hey guys over the past 6 months I’ve lost 70% of my SPS from what I assumed was a huge OD on Vibrant. I’m still losing pieces today. I just received my ICP test for the RODI water I use and it indicated .5 ppb copper. So copper poising symptoms match my issue and I’m wondering if that amount is...

Fluval 13.5 nano tank Up and running for 279 days at time of my ATI ICP tests. RODI Sample was perfect (everything at ZERO) Using Reef Crystals. Silicone/Silicates are high. I've used a light coating of molykote on the westside of the MP10 powerhead and I'm assuming its not water...

So I’ve been having trouble with sps having STN after about a week or two. I just received my test relays back and would love to see what people think would cause this. My alk, calc, mg are all super stable and alk fluctuates 8.7-8.5 daily.

just got my test results in for the ICP. Need your help identifying what is out of whack in my tank so I can get it fixed. Looks like I should dose some trace elements? Aluminum at 41.26? dealing with STN for a while on Acro, so would be great to nail it down thanks!
