CoralVue ICP showed Ag Silver at 0.0127. What could possibly make it that high?
 
tank is a 180 bare bottom with rock that's been in there for well over 15yrs. Vectra L2 pump, 5 tunze 6105's, Korallin reactor, heater that's not submerged at the top and doesn't appear to have any cracks; there's no water in it and a Deltec skimmer and marine pure cubes from algae barn in sump. The only other things in the water are probes from Neptune on a magnetic probe holder and a magnetic frag rack. I think the high silver content is killing off snails, sps do well but acans and chalices are not opened up like they should.
 
should mention that I dose mono potassium phosphate, Potassium Nitrate and Chaeto Gro when needed

Did you ever figure out why you had high silver? My ICP test came back and I had .1203 Ag levels and for the life of my I can’t find anything about this online. Anything you learned I would truly appreciate

No but I stopped feeding some Spectrum flakes that I was using sparingly since my Anthias like it. I don't know if ICP is having problems with there site now because I can't log in so I can't give u my last reading but my silver content has dropped significantly since my first post. Wish triton tested for silver for comparison.

I suspect it is test error.
