Sent in a ICP-OES test to try and figure out why I am not getting very good coloration in my Montipora and no polyp extension in my acros. I am getting good growth just not a lot of coloration. I need to figure out where my source of tin is coming from. Last year in march was my last ICP and tin was at 8. But other than that anything else you guys see that i should address? Tank is 75 gallon, 30 gallon sump, around 85 gallons running. Alk-9.5 Cal-450 MG-1360, 35PPT , 5 No3 , 0.03 to 0.08 Po4, 2 XR15s running AB+ putting out 250 -350 par through the tank. 2 Mp40's running reefcrest at 65%. Also another interesting thing to point out is Triton says Mag to be 1486, My Trident usually keeps it at 1345-1375 ish.

Overall your analysis good. At the end of analysis, there should be corrective measures .
Mag is slightly high, same with stronium. Lithium elevated and potassium a little low.
I would switch salts to red sea blue bucket and do a couple of water changes to meet those levels. Prior to water change you can add Triton metal remover or similar and add carbon after water change
