Last year my ICP results showed my Tin (Sn) levels at .023ppm which is .22 above the recommended level for a reef-tank.
I realized that my cabinet hinges contained tin and that they were rusting a bit, and i'd imagine particles were getting into my tank when i opened and shut the doors.
I removed them, spray-painted them with acrylic and covered them with plastic (taped it over them).
I received my ICP test back yesterday and my tin level is at 0ppm.
