Br is high and iodine is low. The interesting part is the calcium and magnesium readings do not match Trident or Hannah for calcium.... No idea why my Br is so high? Thoughts? Should I have any concerns?

Who do you trust then? Because I am thinking getting the test done27 ppm? That actually seems low...
I, personally, don't trust ICP.com testing.

I won't use them anymore, the calcium they report seems way off. That means both the trident and Hannah is wrong

another thread from a year ago with the identical issue with BR and ICP
www.reef2reef.com
@Randy Holmes-Farley made a post in another similar thread that his Br hovers about 2x natural sea water. He also has an article where he goes over his Triton results and says this about Br
Bromine (Br; bromide). The bromide is elevated. I’m not sure why, but it doesn’t really worry me. It might be from the salt mix, or from foods. Except when using ozone, bromide is not a toxin to worry too much about. When exposed to ozone, it becomes bromate, which is more toxic, but that is really a concern for how to use ozone and the concern isn’t changed much by having bromide at 2x the natural level.
hope this helps
Elevated Bromine
I've been having problems with my Acropora coloration. They are not really brown or pale, more so a greyish. Hobbyist test kits are coming out with good numbers for me. I have plenty of flow and decent lighting. Here are my parameters tested via Hanna or salifert. 1.026 8.2 dkh 420 ca 1300 mg...

Recently, Triton GmbH in Germany has initiated a method of testing many ions at once for a single price. In the US, that service is coordinated by Unique Corals. For $49 they will send you a couple of tubes to collect a tank water sample, and a prepaid mailer to send the sample back to them...
