ICP results

[ReefAddict]

After turning the corner from an Alk issue, I am still having issues with some Acros stning from the bases and I’ve also lost a few torches.  I sent in an ICP and the biggest issues are in order of my concern:

 

1.  Tin is at 26 ( I’ve checked heaters and magnets all appear to be sealed and in working order). 

 

2. Iron is at 10 (might be from dosing Chaeto grow?)

 

3. Strontium was low (recommended dosing)

 

4. Molybdenum was too high

 

5. Lithium and Bromine were low 

 

Anyone have an issue with Tin before and a method to reduce it?  
Thoughts on high iron?  I haven’t used GFO in years, but I add a capful of Chaetogro every other week or so (will be pausing for the near future)

I can't comment on the other other parameters from your test.  I had STNing issue as well and did an ICP test where my Tin was 20.11 µg/l.  I used an ICP test kit that also tested the RODI water and the water in my RODI container was at 148.9 µg/l.  It turns out that my booster pump for the RODI was the source of the Tin.  So regarding the Tin:

 

1) find out the source of your tin and remedy that

2) do massive water change

3) use CupriSorb for a few weeks to make sure any remaining Tin is out of the system

 

Hope you beat high Tin too.
