Zinc, lithium, and molybdenum. Where are these coming from? I'm guess my RO water. I dose Red Sea reef energy, use reef crystals salt. Any input appreciated. Will carbon absorb these elements?

Lithium is no concern at that level.

Have you been dosing potassium?

Any metal parts in or near the water?

Yes dosed k+ with Red Sea colors program. Need to cut back on that.

I have a brass fitting on the end of my dosing tubing to weigh it down. You think that could be the problem?

If it ever touches the water, it might be. Or any flaking or dripping corrosion.

Definitely stop anything with potassium in it.
