ICP Results - Any suggestions?

[mzreefgeek]

Hey everyone, I just got the ATI results back. I'm a rookie at this lol, but from what I can tell it's not too bad. My tank is mainly LPS. I have an Alveopora and Goniopora that are doing pretty well. I use Tropic Marin classic salt and do 20% water changes every other week. My question is mainly about the supplements. What do you all recommend for vanadium, manganese, and iodine? Any suggestions appreciated.

ATI told me the same trace elements were low in my test samples too. I just started dosing trace elements every now and again. I don't have the means to test for these things, so I don't want to over do it, so I just dose a small amount once per week, well under what the bottle suggests.

I'm due for another ICP test soon, so I'll soon see if it had any affect.

I have a feeling these items just get depleted faster than water changes can keep up. Once these start getting depleted, no amount of water changing will bring them back up to normal levels. it will just keep getting lower and lower until you dose them back up, which no water change can do. I just don't know how much to dose since I can't test for them and the bottles don't exactly tell you how much of each trace element is in a bottle.

Right now I'm using Brightwell Replenish and Brightwell KoralColor, two products Brightwell lists as products that contain major and minor trace elements. But I'm just guessing if these contain the right stuff. And Brightwell Iodion for the iodine.
