Analyse my heavy and trace metals ICP

[Nixmo]

Hi Reefers

I have had an issue with copper so I had a metals ICP done. I'm now running cuprisorb, metasorb and polyfilter in a reactor so copper should be lower than the shown ICP results.

Is there anything else in there i need to be concerned about? Anything needs raising or lowering and any tips?

I've uploaded the results as a spreadsheet

TIA

The 20 ppb (0.02 ppm) copper is fairly high. May not be a problem as my tank was about 0.013 ppm when I tested it, but did you ever use copper or are you using tap water?

You might (or might not0 benefit from other trace elements added. Are you dosing any?

I'm dosing standard alk, mag, ca + quantum bio enhance.

Long story but I believe copper was the initial problem. All new corals are doing well and ploy-filter pads have pulled out so much in the past 2 weeks. BTW this sample was submitted approx 2 weeks ago, so copper definitely lower.

Just not sure if any other elements are out of range

Do you have any idea how the copper got there?

I don't see other significant issues.
