ATI - ICP test back . Would you individually dial in all major & Minor or would you just increase Tropic Marin A, and only target Dose the Manganese that's low in the Tropic Marin K ?

In TM - A - Bromine and Lithium are high - so increasing these two will elevate even higher
In TM - K - Manganese is low, and Stronium is high ( Small amount, so no worry here for sure )

Here are the elements that are in TM - A

Bromine

89.35 mg/l

61.14 mg/l

+28.21 mg/l

Fluorine

0.45 mg/l

1.19 mg/l

-0.74 mg/l

Iodine

21.54 µg/l

59.31 µg/l

-37.77 µg/l

Lithium

355.1 µg/l

155.1 µg/l

+200.0 µg/l

Molybdenum

4.94 µg/l

10.95 µg/l

-6.01 µg/l

Selenium

u.

0.46 µg/l

-0.46 µg/l

Vanadium

u.

1.37 µg/l

-1.37 µg/l

Here are the elements that are in TM - K

Barium

24.54 µg/l

9.12 µg/l

+15.41 µg/l

Boron

Based on your posting of the ingredients - and if you believe the results - I would use the prepared solution at a somewhat higher rate. You could also change some water.

On Trace A only I would assume you mean.
I do daily water changes of 7 gallons per day, 6 days a week on 850 gallons.
Yes I use instant Ocean only.....

I was just making a general comment - I would not buy individual chemicals to adjust - I would add whatever bottled product you have that meets those parameters (I thought that was the question)

I think a mix like TM A and K is a fine way to go and a lot less work.

Since the K elements are pretty close to test benchmark, but Trace A is low, would you just up the dose of the A ?
Thanks @Randy Holmes-Farley, I really appreciate your input on this.

The actual result looks undetected and lower than the benchmark for most K elements, doesn’t it? Id ignore the little arrows and look at actual numbers.

Use both, unless I misunderstood the table columns.

No you are correct @Randy Holmes-Farley , I was just worried the ones in K that are higher, would elevate too high.
I will take your advise and just up the dose of both A & K per Tropic Marin's increasing instructions.

Thanks Randy

The elevated ones on the K list don’t concern me.
