@Tim@Triton May be able to help, but I believe with your results there should be a help button you can click that tells you what to do to lower or raise levels that are out of spec.

Are you dosing anything now?

Just BRS 2 part and regular water changes.

Curious that you detect iron. I dosed iron and couldn't detect any.

Some of the trace elements (Mo, V, Zn, etc.) may be worth dosing, but it's hard to know if that will truly be a benefit. It's a good experiment, and since many are low, a trace element cocktail may be an OK way to start, saving you from buying a half dozen different individual additives.

It looks like you are not running a Triton system. However, you should still have recommendation and dosing instructions on your, ICP test, from Triton. Very specific instructions on Triton supplements to use and doses, if you should do water changes etc. Hit the HELP and DOSE buttons for more information. Sorry for the big screenshot, it's my test results page.

If you are not seeing everything it could be a browser issue. I know that some browsers are not supported. I am using Chrome and have no trouble at all, but mine looks different.

Chromium.

Could come from a metal part near or in the water. Shiny silver metal.

I don't have a trace element cocktail I recommend, but I'd look around to see what folks like. There are tons of them, and since almost none tell you exactly how much of anything is in them, it's a lot of trial and error.
