High molybdenum

[Henk]

Hi

My last ATI ICP test shows high molybdenum (38.44ug/l). When I look to recent test results I see the trend is clearly rising. 6 months ago 29ug/l, 12 months ago 16ug/l. I don’t really have other elevated metals. Any ideas where this could come from? I occasionally do water changes (10%, once every 6 weeks) with tropic Marin pro reef.

Full report enclosed.

Thanks!

I'm not sure where it might be coming from, but it is in many types of steel, and in phosphate test kits. The level does not look high enough to be concerned, IMO.

In many types of steel, meaning check if anything is rusting, or not necessarily?

It doesn't hurt to check, but i do not think finding the source is a priority.
