After the last 2 tests, it appears that there is always a shortage of the following elements. Can you now administer these elements on a daily basis, or is that only necessary if you perform a triton test every three months?
I is 19 needs to be 60
Mn 0 needs to be 2
Mo 2,6 need to be 12
B 3,9 need to be 4,5
Sr 4 need to be 8
 
Only 2 of these traces are relatively important to add Sr -Strontium http://aquaforest.eu/en/product/strontium/
Iodine-Iodium
http://aquaforest.eu/en/product/iodum/
Rest you will add with waterchanges and eventually with Component 123+ or ABC
We are talking about parts of million in one gram in on liter of water ...
I'm sure that it will be better to concentrate on stability , waterchanges etc ... :)

Thank you for your answer,
obviously stability is important! As prescribed, I do a weekly water change of 10% with Probiotic salt. I only hoped that the values would be closer to the desired values due to the water changes

If I were to add Sr and Iodine daily, how much should I start? The tank is a total of 300 liters.
 
In the link above you have exact dosage. It's almost impossible to add all elements in reef tank only by water change. That's why AF recommend to use Component 1,2,3 + on daily basis

Sorry , i forgot to tell that i Used component 123+ .

Is the dosage of 1 ml/100liter also good in combination with 123+ ?
 
If levels of these elements are low , yes it's good to use individual elements to rise them on the right level.
If you use Aquaforest products from the beginning with component 1,2,3+ and your base parameters (Ca, kh, Mg and Salinity) are in line it's quite strange that you have strontium at 4 mg/l. The right level should be depending on salinity around 7 to 9. Could you please share full report of ICP here and little bit more about your tank? Did You made a marinlab.com ICP test? Some photos etc please...

My reef tank is full sps and I am now running for 8 months on Aquaforest, component 123, np pro, pro bio, zeomix and phosphate minus.
Never had any problems, only last week a somewhat higher Ca and Mg, I work on it. Kh is always around 7.5 and No3 0 - 0.25
Salanity 34/35 %
I mix the components themselves as indicated in the tutorial.
I dose each component 8x 24 ml spread over 24 hours.

Can you Please help me [emoji85]
 
You have beautiful tank and corals. I suggest as above ... in the link you have exact dosage and how many drops rise how much. make regular water changes with Reef Salt (or probiotic), use pls as recommended Zeomix and Phosphate Minus. Strontium , Iodium (add to rise these elements slowly - in 2 weeks) After two weeks make pls another ICP test in Marinlab.com
