Bad ICP test *HELP*

[vetteguy53081]

Would to titanum heaters leash aluminum? I have the helios one

they should not. Ive been using Titanium 13 years and have very low metal on my ICP results. Piping, water source, clamps used in plumbing are some contributors and even pump magnets. I would not be overly concerned with metal levels on your test which shows them as present and not High or dangerous. Obviously we dont welcome them regardless.

disregard the icp test results, don't even think about the results

What if he had toxic levels of copper and zinc coming through his RODI filters?

what if he set it up with tap water?

What a waste of peoples time to answer the same persons (pretending to be two different) question twice.

Not to mention he asked the same question on polo reef facebook group and got the same answers.

I guess the answers there weren't good enough for him

No worries im permanently deleting both accounts.

it's OK don't get upset people can say what they want, everyone's just having a little fun, you'll get help here and there, it may not always be the answer your looking for but between your research and the help offered you should be fine. I wouldn't delete and leave

I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen it before.

 

[Reefahholic]

You should start. Many issues stem from source water, and water is what we keep.

 

[Reefahholic]

I’m done here. Too many fake accounts. Have fun with that.

no the point is, in a new tank without months/years of evaporation of bad quality water the metals shouldn't have enough concentration to be "toxic", thats why on a newly set up tank it's more than likely unnecessary to preform an icp test and these results could be disregarded, they will just cause un needed worry and confusion. even with a tank filled up on start with tap water can be fine, but when using tap water for months and evaporation is compounding these metals it can become toxic, I've seen lots of nice tanks set up using tap water, also it depends on the quality of the tap water. this guy claimed to use r.o water and the tank is only a few weeks/months from being set up there's likely nothing toxic in his water, it is more likely testing error or sample collection contamination. also this poster tends to worry about the smaller issues at hand and the main reason for me saying to "disregard the test results" the original post i made that you questioned.

You use the word “likely” a lot. Actually, new systems commonly have quite elevated levels of several elements.

Starting a system with tap water is definitely not smart. In any Acropora system this is extremely risky depending on how many pollutants are present. Chlorine, Copper, Zinc, Neodymium, etc…are all harmful at high levels.
