First ICP test

[Sallycarle]

So I just got in my first icp results and could use a little help on the best way to fix my problems. I'm currently battling ostreopsis and currently the diatoms are taking over. I have elevated aluminum which I have read could be from bioballs so I removed them from my tank. I have brought my phosphates up to .06 now. So I'm wondering the best way to lower some of the major elements and raise the minor elements and phosphorus? I'm currently dosing brs two part, have a UV to help with the ostreopsis, also dosing microbacter7, neophos, just put in some pods and dosing phytoplankton, feeding frozen food daily. Tank is a 1 year old 65 gallon red sea all-in-one with fish and coral. My ro/di was good except for silicon which is 1296. I read it could be from depleted di resin so that will be changed out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I've never attached a link so I don't know if I did it right

The salinity is low and I’d raise it. I don’t see other big issues.

Thank you, should I be concerned about the aluminum and what is the best way to raise the trace elements that are low?

I don’t think the aluminum is a concern at that level.

I think a trace element mix like Tropic Marin A and K may be a good plan.
