Zinc

How much are you trying to dose? I'd be very careful with zinc. It's quite toxic in saltwater systems.

I know it thanks for the warning. I just want to have the zinc in levels where triton lab indicated to my reef system. The dose will depend of the concentration of the solution that I don't know yet.

Did the results ever get published? I didn't see any link here or any discussion about it???

Personally, I don't trust the Triton results for trace elements. A study found them to be inaccurate, which is what I'd expect given the cost involved. If you want to dose at the ppb level, you'd be trying to dose on the order of 1/1000 grams per 100 gallons or so, roughly, or maybe 1 tsp per 500,000 gallons, even more roughly.

Hi, never been able to make corals more colorful. I have access to all Triton test and elements. What are you dosing right now? And at which concentration?

Also just for curiosity, do you need to acclimate new corals to this high levels of metal? or no need for that? I am asking because if a hobbiest have this element levels high and he adds a new acro that was not in waters with this high elements on zinc, copper, mn, I ect. Can this acro be negatively affected or rtn due to this suden change in this parameters?

Sorry for my bad English.

Regard.
