Hello I've got super high tin reading on my icp test. No other metals. The reading is Tin 148 µg/l, where would this be coming from? I cant see anything obvious, thanks.

Do you have any magnetic frag holders in the tank? They can go bad & get a leak around the magnet then leech into the water. Can't think of anything else again unless something has a leak you have not caught yet id consider everything with any metals suspect until the culprit is located.

One reefer found that plastic tubing leeched tin. Especiallh the green eheim tubing and one other kind.

Glad you posted that, i never would have thought plastic of any kind could do that.
it's common in new tanks, something to do with the manufacturing process of the glass, this is what I've heard and seems to follow with various posts I've seen, of course if not a new tank then the above reasons! I'm sure I had tin from a cheap RO pump with a rusting shaft. Just have to methodically go through checking everything
