Advice on Latest ICP Test Results

[Brandon Rush]

Looking for some advice on my current parameters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Everything looks pretty close to the comparison. Are you having any issues where you suspect parameters are the problem? How old is the tank, when was your last water change?

I've had some zoa die off lately, but I've been running the tank fallow for a little and been messing with my light configuration, so that could be to blame. Last water change has been about a month. Getting ready to switch over to the Triton method, so I hope all the trace minerals get up to where they need to be.

FWIW, I'm, not a fan of the reliability of that company, and am a bit reluctant to get you worried about things that are probably their testing problems. FOr example, arsenic at 0.06 ppm.

Salinity looks a bit high. What do you think it is based on your testing?

My testing shows 1.024, so not sure. I was a little surprised with the Arsenic. I use RODI water and have no idea how that would make it into my system.

Well, as I mentioned, I do not have high confidence in this particular company, but the results are above a sg of 1.027, if accurate.
