I recently sent out a water sample with a Triton ICP test kit. When I received the results, it says I have high levels of mercury in my system!!! I don't have any thermometers that contain mercury, so I know it's not caused by that.

My other equipment consists of:

-Reef Octopus Varios 6 return pump
-Titanium heater with remote thermostat
-Reef Octopus 130 Protein Skimmer
-Aquatop Media Reactor with GFO
-x2 wave makers (not sure what brand, bought off amazon)

Could any of these things containmercury that could leak into the system?
The only new pieces of equipment that I added after my previous ICP test was the reactor and a 3rd wave maker which I removed after receiving the test results.

Anybody have any ideas??
