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 with Tropic Marin Pro salt or Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks
Due to excessively high P/PO4 readings it has not been possible to accuratly test for Iodine
Lower P/PO4 value by using AL99 or ROWAphos phospate remover, then retest.
Cu
The analysis has found an elevated level of Copper in the aquarium.
This could be the result of fish medication.
For your chosen Habitat this is not of concern unless it reaches levels higher than 100ppb
Countermeasure: TRITON DETOX should be applied before the water changes.
Application DETOX: Take activated carbon and Phosphate media out of the system, add 3ml Detox / 100l of aquarium water. After 3 days, put on fresh activated carbon (Phosphate media can now also be introduced again), activated carbon should be changed after 7 days.
Fe
Your Iron levels are slightly elevated.
Check for possible contamination source. To help you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of iron (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Iron based Phosphate remover (too much flow in reactor)
4. Low pH in the aquarium
To remedy this we recommend carrying out 6 x 15% water changes with Tropic Marin Pro salt or Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks
Zn
Your Zinc 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 zinc (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Contaminated trace elements
2. Hand Cream applied before working in the aquarium
3. Contaminated salts
Li
Your Lithium levels are slightly elevated.
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
If you are dosing additional lithium on top of regular doses then stop.
Br
Your Bromine 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 frequent bromine sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Contaminated salts such as calcium chloride
2. Contaminated trace elements
3. Contaminated salt mixtures
If you have problems in the aquarium you can change 2x 10-15% of the aquarium water, spread over 2-4 weeks.
Monitor with future ICP-OES tests.
Na
Check salinity measuring equipment for accuracy and lower salinity and monitor.
Check salinity measuring equipment for accuracy and monitor.
Cu
Low levels of Copper have been found in your system.
Although not as dangerous at very low levels it is important that you check your system for any possible contaminations.
To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed them the most common sources of copper (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Contaminated trace element solutions
2. Bio-pellets
3. Contaminated salts
4. Contaminated food
5. Corroding metals or magnets near the water
To remedy this we recommend carrying out 6 x 15% water changes with Tropic Marin Pro salt or Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks
Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Basic )
V
We have detected a lack of vanadium.
A vanadium dosage may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can have a positive effect on the growth of sponges, sea squirts and SPS and LPS corals
- Can promote a better polyp extension
- May intensify the color of Acropora and Montipora
To restore the natural value, please note our dosing recommendation.
To keep this value, please note our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1st Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2nd Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose meter (from the 2nd test) XML.
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).
4. Test: see above. Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.
We recommend the corrective dosage of 0.55ml for 1 day.
We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.04ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).
Mo
We have detected a lack of molybdenum.
A molybdenum dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote enzymatic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can promote the color of SPS and LPS
- Too high a dosage of molybdenum can be detrimental to the aquarium, please dose carefully.
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 22.7ml. On the last day please use 9.02ml.
Mn
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 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 4.54ml. On the last day please use 0.01ml.
We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.76ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).
Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Advanced )
Ni
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 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 9.08ml. On the last day please use 2.14ml.
