Whats up reef 2 reef,

Want you guys especially @Randy Holmes-Farley to take a look at my recent Triton results i received this morning. Reason i did this test is cause my corals are just not thriving like they used to and i cant find the cause. I did a thread about my issue http://reef2reef.com/threads/corals...fore-pics-included.268052/page-2#post-3532837

Now here are the results :

Phosphates seem way to low. This might be one reason the reef is not thriving like it used. I have a couple other red and yellow flags I want you guys to review and give me your inputs.

Thanks guys

Looking forward to seeing what people think of this too, I'm waiting on my Triton test for similar reasons.

Hi;
potassium is low (K) easy to fix.

Lithium is way high. I don't know what if any effect that would have. Curious why it is so high myself.

Their the only 2 that really stand out.

For potassium is it as simple as simple as dosing potassium alone? I believe brightwell aquatics makes a good potassium supplement. Not sure about lithium either .

Yes, I'd boost the potassium with any of several hobby or DIY products.

The lithium isn't a concern. Many people have it that high and it is not very toxic.

We don't really know what levels of tin become an issue, but with potassium that low, I'd fix it and see what happens before chasing other possible issues.

I don't consider supplementary iodine useful, but it is easy enough to dose some for a while and see it it helps.
