Source of Vanadium to dose?

[RandoReefer]

Hi Randy,

In your article about your Triton test, you had mentioned that you may entertain dosing Vanadium because of possibly being depleted. What would you have used to do that?
I'm actually trying to determine what the cause of my elevated levels may be.

Also, you mention that the Barium group would only be a cause of concern if they were elevated. With Triton's set point of 10.00 ug/l, what would you consider elevated?

Thanks!

Randy

I'm not worried about barium at levels below 1 mg/L (1000 ug/L).
