I hadn't done a lot of testing and now I am refocused to improve my tank so I tried the triton lab ICP purchased though BRS. full list of items tested listed below. Underlined items are out of range. red one is too high.

Do you dose two-part?

Wow, I consider these great numbers.

Quick everyone with blue corals put them in his tank to help with the strontium [emoji23]

that is what I was using, but when I was too busy I stopped. I will need to add it back when I add more livestock to avoid depletion

blue coral will do that?

Those elements that are high are common in 2 part and certain salt mixes. Nice job.

here are their recommendations:

important issues to fix:
magnesium - For the first 5 days the daily dosage should be 454.5ml. On the last day please use 90.25ml.
potassium - For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 181.8ml. On the last day please use 137.38ml.
iodine - daily maintenance dose of 0.85ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

beneficial:
bromine - For the first 6 days the daily dosage should be 45.45ml. On the last day please use 30.22ml.

fine tuning level 1:
molybdenum - For the first day the dosage should be 45.45ml. On the last day please use 41.43ml.
vanadium - daily maintenance dose of 0.07ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).
manganese - daily maintenance dose of 1.52ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

fine tuning level 1 (adavanced)
nickel - corrective dosage be carried out over 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 18.18ml. On the last day please use 9.08ml.
zinc - daily maintenance dose of 0.36ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Keep in mind the amounts are only if you're using their supplements.

I had acros with burning tips with super steady alk. My iodine was like ZERO. Using their iodine in the amounts provided the coral healed almost within 2-3 days. It was amazing.

write now I am taking inventory of their recommendations. Magnesium fix as prescribed, requires 3 Trace Base Magnesium 1000mL - Triton which is about $100, but probably worth the cost for the livestock

Just use readily available means to raise the big 3

Interesting analysis. Thanks Sean for your input. Glad to know you're still lurking.

This hobby is like herpes - once you get it, it never goes away.

In all seriousness I am an aquarist lifer. Regardless of wether or not I have a tank running....just too busy with my business and my 2 little kids right now but I'll be back at some point.

Happy NY everyone
