Reason for Test: Corals to not thrive in the tank even when most of most parameters are stable and within acceptable range.

We detected elements in your water that can be harmful for your tank.
More information about each element is listed below.
We recommend to carry out 6 x 15% water changes with TRITON PURE 2.0 salt, spread over 6 weeks.
Your Lithium levels are too high.
Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed them the most common lithium sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts / contaminated magnesium salts
3. Artificial Rock/ Reef ceramics
4. Food
Your Barium levels are too high.
Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of Barium (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Phosphate iron-based (except ROWAphos or PhosBan)
2. Contaminated salts
3. Contaminated trace elements, in particular strontium
4. Dried fishfood
Use AL99 PO4 remover to remove Barium
Your Silicon levels are slightly elevated.
Check for possible contamination source. To help you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most frequent sources of contamination for silicon (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. RO/DI Supply
2. Iron based phosphate remover (not RowaPhos or PhosBan)
3. SIPORAX Type media
4. Ceramics
Renew PO4 media, use AL99 or RowaPhos/PhosBan
Your Phosphorus / Phosphate levels are slightly elevated. - Known problem - Use RowaPhos and Refugium to manage it.
Low levels of Lead have been found in your system.
Although not as dangerous at very low levels it is important that you check your system for any possible contaminations. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of lead (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Contaminated sea salt mixtures
2. Contaminated salts such as calcium chloride
3. Contaminated trace elements
4. Contaminated feed for fish or coral
If you have problems in your tank, TRITON DETOX should be applied before the water changes.
Application DETOX: Take activated carbon and Phosphate media out of the system, add 3ml Detox / 100l of aquarium water. After 3 days, put on fresh activated carbon (Phosphate media can now also be introduced again), activated carbon should be changed after 7 days.
Monitor levels over future ICP-OES tests.
Low levels of Aluminium have been found in your system.
This is normal if you are using an aluminium based PO4 media. However try to find the contamination. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed them the most common sources of aluminium (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Aluminium based Phosphate remover
2. Zeolite
3. Metals in water
Use ROWAphos phosphate media to remove the aluminium.
Any help finding/suggestions to find what I am doing wrong to identify what could be the cause and how to fix it.
