ATI ICP Test - Results Are In!

[Land Shark]

Here are my icp test results in case you wanted to see the actual report. It really puzzles me wondering where all this tin is coming from. Thanks.

It's bryond frustrating that Triton has made no formal effort in formally addressing and/or tackling the tin problem---which they're making all clients aware of.

Non-specific treatments are the last thing you'd expect from any type of scientific diagnostic service that provides microsolutions for specific issues (physician specialists for example).

According to triton, my tank water tested Tin at 40ug/l last week. Back in June it tested at about half that amount. Is that high by your thoughts?

It's getting there, yes.

The problem is there are many types of tin that cannot be distinguished by ICP. They have different chemical properties (in terms of, say, how to remove it) and different toxicities. How much to worry about them and how to remove them will be different, and Triton cannot know from its ICP testing what form you have.

For example, tin from float glass (its often floated on molten tin) will be simile ionic tin that desorbs from the glass as Sn++ or Sn++++. it may then bind to organics in the water.

Tin from PVC or other plastic will be an organotin compound, like the one shown below on the left:

You just pasted it as words, not as a link. I just copied the link and pasted it in.

Salinity seems very low and calcium is quite high.

Iodine is very high and you have several metals like copper.

Any idea how these got there?

 

[Reefman71]

No clue, I’ve been dosing the iodine, to much apparently. As for the metals I have no idea. Most of my equipment is under 6 months old? Not sure where to start looking?
