Triton Results- A Few Questions

[TechnicalFisher]

I recently received results from my first round of Triton testing, attached here. The most glaring issue for me was magnesium and I'm dosing now to bring that up a bit. Beyond that, I had a few questions-

1) Lithium levels are a bit high. I've read that this is likely a result of the salt mix. Wondering whether the amount shown (455 ug/l) is high enough that I need to worry about it. The report recommends that I perform water changes but if it's a result of my salt mix (IO Reef Crystals) that won't help.

2) Iodine is a bit low at 11 ug/l. Is that low enough that it's likely to impact my corals or other inverts such that it's worth dosing? Otherwise, I"m dosing Triton Core7 now and imagine that this will help gradually add to/stabilize the level.

Many thanks and any thoughts on other indications in the report also appreciated!

Neither the lithium nor the iodine would concern me.

Great- thanks Randy!

In the triton dosing where it recommends the water changes needed they recommend using triton 2.0 pure salt mix or Red Sea blue bucket salt and one other I believe ..

Thanks @Jason mack - I saw that. As luck would have it , the month before I switched over to Triton I bought a 200g box of Reef Crystals so I've got a ton of the stuff and am reluctant to cough up more $$ to buy new salt mix.

In light of Randy's indication that the LI levels aren't too problematic I'm inclined to hold off for the time being and see where things stand in a few months.
