Honestly, I expected a lot worse.

What say you @Randy Holmes-Farley

Nitrates are elevated at 11.38...I guess I should do a 60 gallon water change and knock them down by 1/2 right?

On my phone, the link doesn’t pull up anything, and I don’t have a computer on vacation.

I would not do a big water change for 11 ppm nitrate. It’s not that high.

Tin is elevated, Vandadium and Manganese are low.

11.38 Nitrates (ATI recommends 2ppm)
Phosphate is 0.01 (ATI recommends 0.02)
Phosphorus is 3.08 ug/l (ATI recommends 8.43 ug/l)

other readings:

Salinity is 36.86 PSU (ATI recommends 35)
Carbonate is 7.98 (ATI recommends 7.5)
Magnesium is 1342 (ATI 1385)
Potassium is 437.5 (ATI: 429.7)
Iodine is 29.8 (ATI: 68.46 ug/l)
Tin is 11.16 ug/l (ATI: 0.53 ug/l)

When I mix my salt, I go to 1.026 on the milwaukee digital refractometer, which is 33 PSU I think).
