I have had my rock dry rock cycling/curing in 55 gallon drums for the last 4 month while my new tank has been being built. I bought the drums used off of another reefer but he assured me that only rodi had been stored in them. That being said, I still wanted to test the water/rocks with an ICP test before I start filling up the tank with the possibility tainted rocks. This is my first ICP test so I really am not sure what I am looking for, how do these results look? Reminder, there is not fish, inverts or coral in here yet, this was just to cycle the rocks and make sure there was no leeching of any "bad stuff" before starting the tank. One test is the rodi water and the other is the rock tank. (I've added screenshots below if you cant open the PDF)

Looks good. RODI has some Silicon - common and won't cause any issues at those levels.

The rock water looks good to me. You may have some nutrients leaching or decomposing - do a water change and make sure it's not increasing if you're concerned. Don't think it's excessive but a WC is cheap and easy.

Thank you! The tank finally arrived so I will be transferring all rock to the tank this week and will be using all new water
