So got my results back from ATI today. After all the frozen sample talk, now time to do something with the info. The salinity and phosphate issues have already been resolved. Probe on the apex was off, found out right before sending the test off and started correct. I used phosguard to lower p04, could that be the reason for the elevated aluminum? I spent most of the evening searching for the source of the tin per ATI's suggestions. The sandbed is less than a month old as we just moved from a smaller tank and replaced it all. Super thin layer so easy to comb. Removed about half the rocks to day to check for anything that could be lodged inside one, found nothing so far. Will check the rest tomorrow. Removed one possible magnet that might of been slightly damaged but honestly it might of been ok. Checked the rest of the equipment and didn't notice anything. I was using pickling lime and baked baking soda for dosing up until about a month ago. Could these be the source of some of the issues? The copper, aluminum and tin are the areas of concern. ATI only suggested dealing with the tin. Looking for some suggestions on how to move forward. RODI test results came back perfect, and have been having some issues with certain corals over the last 4 months. Chalices for example will melt within days, acans fade over times, same with some montis. any suggestions are appreciated!
