Hi, I need help interpreting ICP test results. A 2 year old 15 gallon aquarium. The cast is one ocellaris, one chromis and a cleaning shrimp and unspecified amounts of snails. Filtration is a panel with Maxspect Biosphere, carbon and fleece. RedStarfish SQ-70 skimmer connected to a CO2 scrubber. Previously I was dosing a two-part balling and for about a month I switched to All for Reef. In addition, I dose amino acids coralen zucht. For some time now, the corals have started to fade. It started with Euphyllia Paraancora. At this point it is completely white and shrunken. For about a week, another euphyllia glabrescens has been pulling less Montipora Digitata red has less intense color.
I try to keep the KH at 8, Ca over 400 and MG over 1400. At the time of the test, the parameters were a little lower because the dosing hose was blocked and I noticed this after a few days. I am mainly wondering about micronutrients, which ones are really worth supplementing. I wonder if the aluminum level is already alarming and some action needs to be taken.
