Mg

The analysis has found that the Magnesium levels are low.

For the animals kept in your your chosen Habitat this is not a significant issue.  
We still advise to maintain the level within the recommended range by following the dosage advice as it helps improve the general look of your aquarium.

Ca

The analysis has found that the Calcium levels are low.

For the animals kept in your your chosen Habitat this is not a significant issue.
We still advise to maintain the level within the recommended range by following the dosage advice as it helps improve the general look of your aquarium.

Si

Your Silicon levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most frequent sources of contamination for silicon (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. RO/DI Supply
2. Iron based phosphate remover (not RowaPhos or PhosBan)
3. SIPORAX Type media
4. Ceramics

Renew PO4 remover media, use AL99 or RowaPhos / PhosBan

P

Your Phosphorus / phosphate levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common reasons (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Overfeeding, especially with dry food or not washed-frozen foods
2. No Phosphate Remover in the system
3. Too much vegetable food
4. Too little flow, "Gammel corners" in the aquarium
5. Weak filtration / skimming
6. use of supplements to increase nutrients

Renew or increase PO4 media, feed less, wash frozen food, avoid dried foods (flakes or pellets)

Ba

Your Barium levels are slightly elevated.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of Barium (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Phosphate iron-based (except ROWAphos or PhosBan)
2. Contaminated salts
3. Contaminated trace elements, in particular strontium
4. Dried fishfood

Monitor with future ICP-OES tests.
Use TRITON AL99 PO4 remover to remove Barium

K

Your Potassium levels are slightly low.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

Mg

Your Magnesium levels are too low.

Please check your magnesium test kit for accuracy.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

Ca

Your Calcium levels are too low.

Check for accuracy of home Ca test kit if used.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

Na

Your Sodium levels are slightly low, this usually indicates that your salinity is too low, or if you are running 2 part Balling your system is out of balance.

Check salinity measuring equipment for accuracy and raise salinity with suitable salt and monitor.

A boron dosage can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Stabilization of the pH value in the aquarium
- Can promote the colour and health of SPS and LPS
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 5000ml. On the last day please use 2000.00ml.
