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

Sr

The analysis has found that the Strontium level in the aquarium is low.

For your chosen Habitat we would recommend to also follow the daily dosage advice of Strontium as this should benefit the animals in your aquarium.
3 weeks prior to fragging we would recommend that you double the daily dosage.

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):
