NA Sodium

[gpwdr]

I'm having trouble interpreting the Triton test result for Sodium;
Na 10131.00 mg/l 10700.00 mg/l
I keep the salinity at 1.025
The set point is 10700 mg/l.
How do I change this mg/l to ppt or specific gravity?
I guess I'm particularly interested in knowing if 10700.00 mg/l is 1.026.

This is the Iodine test results. Wouldn't this level kill everything in the tank?

The screen shot didn't work but the iodine test was 2288.00 ug/l with a set point of 60.00 ug/l.

Hey Gene,
sorry for my english.
can you send me you ID please.

Iodine :

1. for the Iodine I would check the line in the ICP-OES to see if something went wrong (transcription...) but normaly a transcription error would be detected and you recive a email about that after a view minutes.
is your P (pO4) very high ? as the line would interfier with the iodine one.

Sodium:

2. you shouldn´t think about that to much you are in a realy good area with sodium and the Flag shoud still be green, everything alright no need to change anything.
The diviation on Sodium are + - 100-200 ppm so 1-2% in the ICP.

All the best Ehsan:thumb:

Gene

1 mg/l = 1 ppm so 1000 mg/l = 1 ppt
