Help decipher ICP results

[helijamal]

Can anyone help me to understand these results. I am not seeing nitrates in the results. Phosphates goes up and down and doesn't surprise me. Iron i already dose and will up the dosing. What do you recommend for iodine dosing? I don't know where the tin would come from as there is no metal in the system.

I am dosing trace elements and the Tank is doing well. I am using reef energy AB+ via dosing.

Thanks in Advance.

Did you read the subsequent pages on what they recommended? Your alkalinity, calcium and phosphates are a bit high. ReefEnergy AB+ won't have any bearing on these - but the ABCD Trace Elements will (refer to Red sea's website for which component adds which elements, and revise those dosages up or down accordingly).

I did review the pages if you are referring to the drop down menu on each item. I got a little lazy testing phosphates and that is now back in line around .10. I am currently using trace elements by professional coral solutions in Australia and I am seeing good improvements in my tank. My alkalinity and calcium was a surprise as I have my trident running and was calibrated and was not seeing those high of readings. I changed the testing solution and recalibrated again as soon as i saw the ICP test today. I also tested alkalinity today (hannah) and found it was higher than my trident. Thanks,
