Saltwater ICP results

[Geoology]

Just received my ICP results for the saltwater. I believe everything looks ok. Does look like I am low on some trace elements. Should I be adding something to the tank for the low trace elements, if so what would be the best for this.

thanks

Iodine seems low. Something like Nyos, Red Sea or Aquaforest will give you everything you need to dose on a daily or weekly basis. I don’t know what size of tank you have or how long you’ve had it running, but on smaller tanks these elements are usually replenished with frequent water changes.

If you do choose to supplement, I’d probably start with 1/4 of the recommended amounts for your tank size.

If the numbers are accurate, the salinity is low, and I'd raise it to 35 ppt. That will help a lot for the major ions (potassium, calcium, chlorine, sodium, etc.) but won't do much for trace elements that may or may not be needed.
