Etern1ty · May 8, 2020

Hi all, so I have jus received the results of my first ICP test and Sn, Ba and Al seem to be eleveted, however all my corals are doing well. I am using tropic marin all for reef, red sea blue bucket salt, tank is reefer170 and I also have 1l of siporax in sump. Thanks for your comments

None of those are at the levels where I think people see issues.

Barium, which is frequently elevated above NSW, is not ever a concern at levels reefers ordinarily see (IMO).

Neither the tin nor aluminum are high enough to worry about unless there is an apparent tank invert problem. Both are frequently elevated in reef tanks from many different sources.

None of those levels look especially bad to me. Especially since you dont have anything stressing. I would check for corrosion on my equipment and do regular water changes
