Hi Randy,
I just got my Triton results back, and the lithium is listed at 5922 ug/l. I have been witnessing a progressive decline and mortality of my SPS, mostly acropora and montipora and a T. maxima, over the last 8 months. I have largely ruled out multiple pests, alkalinity swings, and poor water quality (except for lithium, LOL). Could this just be a spurious result? I have been using Crystal Sea Marinemix for 4 years now with apparent success. But could the problem be a bad lot of salt, or is the lithium in my well water (which tested fine, although they don't routinely test for lithium)? Maybe I should switch salt and work on multiple small water changes since there is not likely a quick fix? Oh well, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ~
Dave
