How to fix this....

[ryshark]

I have always been successful keeping SPS in the past. For some reason I'm struggling with my current tank. I decided to get a triton test to see what the heck is going on. It turns out that tin and lithium is crazy high???
Please take a look at my triton results and help me troubleshoot the elements that need improvement.

The lithium is typical for tanks in the US and is not a concern (IMO). it is not particularly toxic.

The tin might or might not be a concern at that level.

Thanks for the links I'll check them out right now. Is there a Calculator or something to convert the Na to SG or Salinity?

Here's a spreadsheet made by Jim Welsh, there are other calculators around by I don't have the links handy:

Randy; you could just about write an entire article dedicated to this specific topic.

I'm so ticked at myself. Lost a ton of $$$$ in high end sps because of this. And the rest of my acros are struggling.
I took my reactor offline and just threw the lid in the sump instead of detaching it from the manifold.

I have some cuprisorb coming in today which I'll run in that same reactor. I'm also planning on a 25% water change. Anything else I should do? Hopefully that takes care of it. Tomorrow I'll check all my other pumps for rust, but I'm pretty sure this submerged screw is the root cause.
