question about tin.

[richiero]

Hello everyone i just got back my triton icp test back and it shows i'm hi in tin. i understand that rusty screws, pumps, magnets, hinges etc etc can cause this. I have removed the hinges and im going the get rid of the tiny rust screw above my sump.

I use acquaforest reef salt , component 1,2,3, amino mix, vitality, energy and NP minus i also run their ROWA.
Ii was wondering if my DIY screen cover that is not rusted but made out of aluminium can be raising my tin levels ?

considering i haven't did a w/c in months i thought my overall numbers were OK.

Thank you for any advice

Its not high enough to be concerned with, IMO. Many people have that level and higher and do not have apparent issues.

Tin may come from PVC, your aquarium glass, solder, and many other sources.
