Recent ICP report lets talk

[Groovyg]

ok looking for some insight just look at the report is there anything overly negative.
in discussions we can talk about problems i been having but want objective outlook before throwing problems in the mix

Your nitrates are elevated and your iodine and some of the other trace elements are a bit low, so you could look at supplementing these.

I don't know the size of your tank or how often you perform water changes, but if aluminum is the only (other) pollutant it's probably not the end of the world. In theory, keeping up with water changes should eventually reduce pollutant levels - but again, without knowing any details this is just best guess. Running (and regularly replacing) carbon also helps.

Iodine and Barium are low. Silica is high but not worrisome. Usually causes some diatom blooms is all.

Nitrate and phosphate are perfect. Zinc is a little high.

Do you run a ceramic media of some kind? That is where aluminum is usually found and not an issue.
