ATI ICP

cmoore806 · Jul 22, 2020

Just sent my first ICP analysis. It was with ATI so they tested my RODI water too. Overall I’m pleased. But scratching my head about sulfur and only see I need to check my salt mix which is reef crystals.

I also had not replaced my carbon in a couple weeks when I sent this test so maybe that would have helped to have kept up with that.
Tank is a fluval Evo 13.5 with sand and dry rock. Bag of carbon and gfo and filter floss. Weekly or more water changes fish not in DT yet due to being quarantined. Tank just has a torch and a hammerhead coral and a cleanup crew. I feed the tank a couple times a week.

Do you dose iodine? if not and If I remember right - reef crystal use to be high in iodine

I don’t dose iodine. I think it’s the salt mix

Your analysis say 1103 mg/L in sulphur - is high but IMO - it will not harm your aquarium. Below you can see my sulphur levels the past 4 years. I have had higher concentrations as you can see

The last Large WC was done 2 weeks before my top of 1193 mg/L. After this - there have been no WC (except for one 1.5 years ago - 40 L)

Visit my build thread if you want to see how an aquarium with this S concentrations looks like
