ATI water analysis

[chucklez]

Just received back my ATI water analysis. Like it as they test your RODI water as well as tank water. Tank has had water in it with 3 chromis and a filefish for 3 months or so now. No coral. Have been hesitant to move the coral and other fish over to this new system as I seem to have a hair algae problem I cant get rid of. So I tried a water analysis. Not sure how concerning I need to be with that level of copper in the system. Ill do some research on it and see. And the silicates in my RO water is a bit disconcerting. And yes, in the tank I have a diatom issue as it looks like rusty colored dust in the sand bed after 5-6 days with stirring the bed.

I just bought a silicate buster di resin from spectra pure. I'm assuming mine are high too.

I may have to look into that. And some cuprisorb.

Silicates are off the chart. https://www.aquavitro.com/phosfiltrum.php

I added some Phosfiltrim in a bag under high flow in my sump, and within 4 days my phosphates were reading 0 and all my algae had disappeared.
