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.
Mg
The analysis has found that the Magnesium levels are slightly 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.
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.

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
Mn
Your Manganese 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 iodine (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts
V
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
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
Sr
Your Strontium levels are slightly elevated. Check for sources of contamination. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of strontium (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Strontium-overdose
2. Salts / salt mixes
Monitor with future ICP-OES tests.
B
Your Boron levels are slightly low.
Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.
Mg
Your Magnesium levels are slightly low.
Please check your magnesium test kit for accuracy.
Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.
K
Your Potassium levels are too high.
Check for sources of contamination. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common potassium sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Bacterial Products
3. Contaminated salts
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
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.
Cu
We have detected copper in your aquarium, this can be a dangerous metal for reef aquariums. Please try to find the reason for the contamination.
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
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.
Se
Selenium has been found in your system.
As Selenium can be very dangerous to you aquarium you should first try to find the contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of selenium (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Food
3. Contaminated salts
Very important for your aquarium
Ca

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Basic )
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 23.1ml. On the last day please use 18.48ml.

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 9.24ml. On the last day please use 4.62ml.
