hmmm. i dont know what could be causing this... maybe do water change, (i havent used icp before so) and do another test if you can, or wait a day and do the test to see if the levels got replenished. i also dont know if the icp tests go bad (as i said i have never used them before)

having exact same issue, haven’t noticed anything leeching in the tank, i’m thinking it is either my salt, or new plumbing, did u come to any solution

What salt are you using?

i have nothing to back this up, but i seem to see a lot of this posted for people with new tanks...maybe its just everything new that leaches this stuff and it takes time and water changes to get rid of it...possibly the "take it slow" advice isnt just based on establishing bacteria but also getting rid of toxins left over from the manufacturing process?

i’m leaning towards it being new aswell
