My Triton results showed several elements were low, calcium, mag, potassium, iron, iodine and a few others. I dose 15 ml of Red Sea energy A and B individually daily. I also dose Reef Nutrition oyster-feast about every other day. What else should I dose to raise the levels recommended by the test results?

Also, the test results showed elevated levels of boron, lithium, molybdenum and a few other things that I don't fully understand. Is this something to be worried about? Do I need to add something to remove these?

Tank: 180g
Sump: Refugium with Cheato, external RO 200 protein skimmer
Algae reactor
Dose Red Sea No/Pox 8ml throughout the day
Dose Vibrant 20ml once on Monday's
Alkalinity 8.9 dkh
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite 0.055 ppm
Phosphate: .22 ppm
Nitrate 13 ppm
Smattering of LPS, mushrooms and soft corals.
A few BTA's.
Fish:
2 Forktail Blenneys
1 Yellow Goby
1 Diamond Goby
2 Blue Hippo Tangs
1 Yellow Tang
1 Salfin Tang
1 Kole Tang
1 Tomi Tang
1 Mag Foxface
5 Clowns
2 Wrasse

Thank you in advance.

Triton cannot show iron top be low since they cannot detect low enough to get to NSW levels.

Salinity looks a tad low and boosting it to 35 ppt will boost everything a little.

Potassium is the main one I'd worry about, in addition to the normal issues for calcium and alkalinity dosing.

Magnesium is not necessarily low for the salinity. They have a high target level.

I don't see anything elevated enough to be a problem, except maybe phosphate.
