We detected elements in your water that can be harmful for your tank.
More information about each element is listed below.

To remedy this we recommend carrying out 6 x 15% water changes Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks

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)

Your Vanadium levels are too high.

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

1. Trace element overdose
2. Reef ceramics
3. Contaminated salts

Your Molybdenum levels are too high. This can lead to severe bacterial growth (Cyano, etc.).

Check for possible contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed them the most common sources of molybdenum (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Food
3. Contaminated salts

Your Lithium levels are too high.

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

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts / contaminated magnesium salts
3. Artificial Rock/ Reef ceramics
4. Food

Your Bromine levels are too low.

WARNING! Dosage only to be carried out by advanced reef keepers.

Due to the possible hazardous nature of dosing Bromine the dosage amounts include a safety factor to ensure that the risk of overdose is reduced. This may result in further dosing being required with subsequent ICP testing.

Please follow the directions on the Dose tab.

Important for your aquarium

We have detected a lack of iodine.
A Iodine dose can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Improves overall health of SPS corals and macroalgae
- Promotes metabolic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can be helpful against parasites and inhibit their reproduction
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 26.13ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 2.61ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

We have detected a lack of strontium.
A strontium dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can positively affect coral health
- Important for the development of healthy coral skeleton
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 112.22ml for 1 day.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 3.74ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Basic )

We have detected a lack of manganese.
A Manganese dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can be useful for keeping LPS corals, for example, Goniopora respond very positively to Manganese dosage
- Can promote better polyp extension
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.
To keep this value, refer to our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1 Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2 Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose (from the 2nd test) xml dosing.
3 Test:: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + old maintenance dosing xml (from the 2nd test) + new maintenance dose xml meter (from the 3rd Test). Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 56.8ml. On the last day please use 56.79ml.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 9.47ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

An iron dose may provide the following potential benefits in your aquarium:

May support metabolic processes within the aquarium ecosystem

May improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals

1. May promote the growth of macroalgae and can therefore be useful in systems designed to cultivate algae

2. In species-specific aquariums, such as seahorse tanks, iron dosing may encourage algae growth and help create a more natural environment

If clams are present in the aquarium, overdosing should be avoided.

Important: The natural concentration of iron in seawater is extremely low and typically below detectable limits.

If you decide to dose iron, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and regularly test your water through our laboratory.

If iron becomes detectable in your test results, this indicates that the element has been overdosed and the dosage should be reduced immediately.

If desired, the dosage can then be increased slowly over time until a positive effect is observed.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 34 days. For the first 33 days the daily dosage should be 2.84ml. On the last day please use 0.94ml.

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Advanced )

Warning, dangerous element for the aquarium. Dosage for professional, experienced aquarists only!
A nickel dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can improve the color image of coral
- Can improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals
Attention, the concentration of nickel in natural seawater is so low that it can not be detected. If a dose is desired, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and test the value regularly in our laboratory. If nickel are detected, they have overdosed and should adjust the dose immediately. You can increase the dosage of nickel slowly until they see a positive effect.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 113.6ml. On the last day please use 56.78ml.
