Questions on Water Analysis ICP

[Chrisz]

Granted this analysis took 3 weeks to get, my water chemistry has probably changed by now. But Sulfur, Bromine & Strontium are sky high where would that be coming from? Dosing All For Reef and I did one dose of Cheato grow.

Manganese is not detectable and Molybdenum is low should this really be dosed? No good way to measure

I have since got DKH to 7.6 and am slowly bringing down nitrate and phosphate levels, recommendations welcomed

All For Reef contents:

organic calcium salts, salts of magnesium, strontium and trace elements (barium, boron, bromine, chrome, iron, fluorine, iodine, cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, strontium, vanadium and zinc)

NOPOX: Ethanol, Acetic acid, Methanol

Cheato Grow:
Potassium - Protein synthesis, water and charge balance, enzyme activation.
Boron - Chlorophyll production, flowering, root growth, cell function.
Carbon - Required for all organic compounds.
Calcium - Cell wall stability and permeability, enzyme activation, cell response to stimuli.
Chlorine - Water and charge balance, photosynthesis.
Iron - Required for photosynthesis, component of enzymes utilized in redox reactions.
Magnesium - Component of chlorophyll, enzyme activation.
Manganese - Formation of amino acids, enzyme activation.
Molybdenum and Cobalt - Required for nitrate reduction.
Nickel - Enzyme activation, processing of nitrogenous material.
Sulfur - Component of proteins and the coenzymes that are involved with nutrient utilization and growth.
Zinc - Chlorophyll production, enzyme activation.

I'm confused. Is that the ICP you intended to show?

Strontium is a bit below NSW levels, and sulfur (sulfate) and bromide are fine.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Many trace elements often show as below detection limits, but whether they need to be dosed is a different question that, IMO, can best be answered by dosing more and seeing if anything apparently "improves" in some fashion.

Using an additive like AFR does not automatically bring these up.

The wrong test loaded, I will try and attach again. The other info is what I am dosing to the tank. I don't know how to reduce the elements that are too high. Water change will just add more

What I cant figure out is how to reduce the elements that are too high, salt mix has all the same elements
