Got my ICP test back and it says critically high for these nutrients.
Cal at 456.3 mg/l
DKH at 9.61
Mg at 1435
everywhere ive read seems like this is Ok. Is this just an ICP test thing?

Thanks

On the high end for “ocean parameters “ but I run my Ca that high and Mag even higher than that. Some corals prefer it. But why is it that high? Are you dosing those elements? Salinity was in check?

Alkalinity is all good, how about ph while we’re at it?

Those values all seem fine to me.
