I know that some of the trace elements may show as undetectable due to testing margin of error. Should I be dosing anything other than iodine? Secondly, this is my iodine consumption after 3 months. How often should I be adding more? I'm using Seachem's Reef Iodine for reference and just added 0.5ml to bring me up to the recommended amount.

Are you dosing anything with zinc now? You might look for any metal parts in or near the water.

i don't know if iodine dosing is useful (it wasn't for me), but it's a fine experiment.

Potassium looks low and I'd boost it. Other trace elements such as iron and manganese may also be useful.

I was dosing chaetogro which contains zinc, but have stopped after removing my fuge. I think that it, in combination with AFR, is responsible for the elevated levels.

OK, sounds good.
