Icp test results

Camaro Show Corals · May 2, 2020

So I rarely do icp tests but always keep a few on hand and I sent one out this week and just got the results. Most things look good and wanted to get everyone’s opinion on the few that are off. Tank has been rolling again and doing wonderful post fire. Got about $8k worth of high end coral back in it and only lost one frag and I feel that wasn’t my fault.

Bump would like to hear thoughts

I don't see anything to be particularly worried about.

Do you do water changes or add trace elements?

Camaro Show Corals · May 4, 2020

I used to weekly 5 gallons water changes when I had fish (3) but after my fire my restoration company was horrible and killed my fish so the tank has been fishless for about 3 months now so I have quit doing weekly waterchanges out of fear of bottoming out nitrate so only doing one a month using Red Sea blue bucket.

What am I missing on the P and PO4 conversions?

Any trace element supplements in that time? The elevated levels don't seem problematic to me, but water changes might keep them down.

no, only acropower, feeding reef roids 3x a week. I do have some KZ coral system 1-4 on hand that I used to use before my fire that I had good results on.
