Not sure if your results are public. I clicked the link and couldn't see it. In any case ATI will give you the results and also recommend what to do to bring the values up to their recommended values. In the case of Iodine it will provide a recommended dose over a couple days. My last ATI test came back and said I needed to dose iodine. I converted their recommended daily dose to drops and that was it. Over the course of my ATI ICP use a couple times iodine came up and each time this more or less fixed that result. Iodine is interesting so as always be careful and do a few searches and read a bit on it.
@Randy Holmes-Farley I believe has a good article on it.
Here is an example from my February test:
Salinity

KH

February's ATI water sample
Following ATI supplements should be applied in order to provide a stable water quality:
- Mangan supplement per day 1.03 ml for 1 day
- Iod supplement per day 0.24 ml for 2 days
Following actions should be applied in order to provide a stable water quality:
- change 3 x 20 % of water with natural seawater or "Absolute Ocean" (weekly cycle)
Iodine I took care of. Magnesium I do not dose. I use ESV 2 part. I'm considering switching to Tropic Marin All For One which includes it. I use IO Reef Crystals so guessing maybe a water change will take care of it. If not it will once I make the switch.
Hopefully this makes sense. I personally use ATI about 3 times a year as a reference from another source. I compare it then to my Trident and manual tests the same day I took their water sample. Sort of keeps me honest. If a number comes back that I'm unsure of I'll shoot them a message first asking for clarification which gives me an option to reply to that to ask if my water change or other dosing will cover it. They are very responsive and helpful.
Lastly - they are going to recommend their product(s). Not a bad thing but it is up to us, the hobbyist, to decide what we want to use or how maybe a product we are already using covers it. Again - back to that reference thing. Best of luck, hope this helped a little.
