Something doesn't seem right with these ICP numbers.....

Boron of 5,655 PPM? Wait what? How is anything alive in this tank....... Sr of 10,712 PPM....... No way..... Maybe they missed a decimal place? I never dosed Boron, only the recommended Aquavitro Fuel. I did does Sr, after it being low on the last ICP, but not that much. I used Seachem Sr and dosed using their calculator....

The aluminum makes some sense as I have been using some GFO.

In euro speak, that means 5.6 and 10.7 ppm. Those are fine values.

Looks like the report was corrected from when it was first published.... Good to see it was a unit conversion issues when it was first uploaded.

Also bear in mind for the future that, as I said, in Europe they use a comma instead of a period as a decimal point, and some of the ICP companies (like Triton) are in Europe.

Agreed, didn't consider this since it was sent to the CA lab. Fair point, either way, glad to see them update it.

Obviously the phosphate is a concern. I want to get that iodine level back down to a normal range. I would think that 211 ug/l is way too high.

I stopped lugols dosing back in April, but I have been dosing fuel which contained 180 ug/l per dose so I guess scale back the fuel.

I don't think the iodine is high enough to worry about, but I wouldn't be dosing more at this point.
