Omg you too

The high level of tin is only in 1 of the 3 tanks we tested so it is isolated to this tank. This eliminates a salt issue or an rodi issue.

ICP test results are. Seems that I have found an issue:

Now I need to figure out where it is coming from and remove it.

Maybe they just misplace th decimal point? That’s crazy.

 

[Zero_Cool]

2 40% WC, 3 20% WC. The bigger you can do to start the greater removal. 49 x .5 = 24, 24 ug/L tin left over

49 x .2 = 9.8, 39ug/L tin left over

I had a rusty fuge light and added amazon vinyl hose adding a frag tank. Removed both suspected culprits. Tin free 2 months after.

Thank you. Water changes are the reccomended treatment from ATI as well. I plan to pull all the equipment and verify any rust on pumps or something.

With the amount of corals lost I don't think that it is a decimal point error.

Jebao pumps have a snapring that rusts on the impeller. Mine was almost most definitely a rusty fuge light making contactnwith tamk water when i turned mh pump off to feed. Thought i had more wiggle room when i added the frag tank. Do you doze fws or coral boost?

Did you have any acros just go like black? I had a few RTN, one at a time. Buti. Had 2 that like legit turned black before RTN weeks later. After the first big WC life was good.

I have an older Jebao flow pump in the tank and will check it. The return pump and wave pump are both new. As odd as it sounds I am hoping it is the older pump as that will be easy to diagnose.

No acros in this tank, LPS only. Lost more torches and hammers than I care to count.

Someone posted a thread earlier on r2r. Always a good idea to inspect pumps. Doesn't matter the brand

My tin topped out at 45ug i dont think i had lost any LPS, maybe a torch. Good luck man, did you check your rodi? My buddy had a tin issue at the same time, but we dont run anything the same.

For him, we suspected brightwell salt or the gyre he used to mix salt appeared to be leaving behind contaminants. He only.got as high as 14ug i think, maybe less. His rodi tested 4ug/L with ATI. We both added additional DI chambers.

I guess for you its really easy to rule out anything other then the tank since your other 2 tanks dont have the issue. Likely something rusting. Were any other metals high? Zinc or aluminum?

So far, lost my vivid confetti and my cadi colony and a few cheap frags. Everything else great and grew
