Triton Test

[loui]

I wanted to see how I was doing with my water chemistry, so i tried the Triton test and I was happy to be doing pretty well. Only real problem was Calcium, which I checked yesterday with my Hanna checker and read 426. I sent the test in about 2 weeks ago I may have had a problem back then, but for some reason I didn't record what my Calcium levels were at the time. Also I changed from Instant Ocean to Reef Crystals I only do 5 gallon water changes every other week unless I see something I don't like and I do more. The test where done when I only used Instant Oceans.

I looked up the issue with Lithium and from some old documentation there was higher levels coming from salt also was mentioned in the articles that it is really not that big of a concern.

For the Iodine being a little low which is strange since I use Acro Power. I am going to raise my dosage up a little bit and see if the reef crystals also help.

I just read on another forum a user who got a triton test. They too had high lithium but agreed with what you said that it is not a concern. I too use Reef Crystals and only recently switched from IO as my calcarous macros were beginning to use a lot of CA.
