add macro elements daily ?

[remi010]

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

It is fine to add them as often as you need to to maintain NSW levels . I would just add that I do not consider it useful to supplement several of those (Sr, I, and B, except for a small amount of pH buffering from borate), but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so.

Some of those will depelte rapidly (such as I, depletes in a few days if I dose some to my tank) and some very slowly if at all (B).
