Recent Triton Results

I thought I'd post this here just to see what everyone thinks. I currently dose 2 part with occasional water changes (no consistent schedule). Triton has recommended 6x15% water changes and dosing of several elements. Other than getting on a consistent water change schedule, are there any other recommendations? The tank has been running several years but never wildly successful. I'm trying to dedicate myself to changing that this year. Thanks

Tin is high and I'd look to lower it with a metal binder such as Cuprisorb.

Potassium looks low and I'd boost it a bit.

Some trace elements are undetectable and might benefit from dosing. Since many are low, a trace element mix seems appropriate.

Iodine dosing could also be a fine experiment, since the level is very low, although I generally am not convinced it is needed.

Thanks Randy. With so many recommendations in the report, it’s hard to decide where to start. As far as trace elements go, do you have any suggestions for a specific brand? There are plenty available, but most are pretty vague about ingredients and/or concentration.
