Triton test

Little confused reading these results

Past 3-5 months my sps have been dying even my easy ones. Could anything in here be the cause

Also just added carbon will it take out any of the red elements

Nothing looks too far off. Although in fairness, I don't have a ton of experience reading Triton tests and discerning what's important and what isn't.

Have you checked all the basics first? Are your corals getting enough light? Are they perhaps getting too much light (not uncommon with LEDs)? Are your corals starving? Is there adequate dissolved nutrients (nitrate and phosphate)? Is your reverse osmosis system operating effectively? Are you changing the prefilters regularly and is the final TDS measuring 0 ppm with a quality hand-held TDS meter?

Lights are ok. They where growing then stopped all of a sudden

Nutrients are high as seen in report but they always been elevated.

I was wondering what each element was. Such as cr and if elevated was harmful to Corals

Basically also asking if this is the cause

Also I have rusted screws on my wooden screen but it never touches the water. Can this be the cause and does carbon take this out of the water

Also will water changed cure this

CR is chromium and detected of presence of metal or exposure of metal ( can be off clamps, filter parts, etc)
