High Vanadium level on recent Triton test

Charterreefer · May 30, 2018

The only additive I started using from last normal vanadium level on Triton test was Sponge Excell from Britewell Aquatics. Could this be the source of the current high vanadium level?

You aren't using Fiji black sand, are you?

I don’t think that is a likely source. It’s not an ingredient and you add relatively little silica.

No sand on the bottom.

How high was the level and was anything else substantially elevated?

The most recent Triton test detected a Vanadium level of 3.5 ug/L, the setpoint is 1.2ug/L therefore a deviation of 2.29ug/L. They said that was "too high"
Nothing else was high, actually all other levels were better from using the Iodine, Manganese, and Zinc supplements I made. FYI: I dose Po4 and No3 too.
