I got some ICP test results today and it shows 16 µg/l of Sn. Its a 700 gallon tank so water changes sufficient to remove it quickly are challenging. Is there a product like and exchange resin that will remove it? Ive looked up the usual polyfilter and metasorb and neither mention SN. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!
 
i would think the only way to get rid of it would be to do large water changes until the tin is diluted. im no chemist but i dont think tin binds to any available agents in salt water. do you know where the tin source is coming from? most of the time its corroding magnets or screws that are in or near the water.
 
Triton DETOX will take care of it. Do you know what it causing it? Put some magnets on a pole and run it through the sand and whatnot. See if you pick anything up.
