My 1st Triton results

[menglish]

So, I can use the collective's feed back on this.
Got my first Triton results back and a few things stood out I can use your help with.
Low K
slightly elevated Br
High Li
low Mo
low I

My system is about 250 G mix reef. I do a 40 G water change every 2 weeks using RC salt.
My sump grows macro algae like weed (chaeto and feathered caulerpa). I harvest about once a month.
I dose only two part from BRS.
The tank is about 2 years old
I am concerned about the low K and I. I know this is likely because of the macro algae growth.
I am thinking i need to dose some thing back to compensate for that.
any suggestions?
I was thinking Red sea coral color ABCD as a complete system. Or should i dose K and I separately?
much thanks

Potassium is your primary concern. Dose it alone. You need a lot.

Ignore the lithium. Almost everyone in the US has elevated levels without issue.

I personalyl wouldn't bother dosing iodide (I) or borate (B), but you can if you like experimenting.

Trace elements such as molybdenum are more complicated. It may be useful, or not.

Thank you very Randy. Do you have a potassium mix you like?

DIY, using food grade potassium chloride.
