Activated carbon doesn’t particularly strip out trace elements. Some people say it does, but it’s not a quantitatively significant amount, and nothing compared to the benefits it brings with removing unwanted organics.Can it also strip out trace elements?
What if any ideas do you have on how this happened?Well I think the issue is a serious deficiency of fluorine per ICP test?
It is at .59 vs 1.2 recommended guideline. Looking up the deficiency would explain sudden RTN of corals.
Everything else looking pretty much ok Although Lanthanum came in at 3.44. Tin came in st 5.44 and silicon at 81.

I kinda doubt low Flourine is your problem (at least not only this) - my F result on ICP is usually about the same, sometimes lower.
Tin on the other hand - that’s typically considered to be a problem. The fact it’s in your water at all is a concern. Did you already check all equipment for metal corrosion?

Except for lanthanum -no clue..What if any ideas do you have on how this happened?
Whatever it is though -it’s been present since sept and increasing. Hmm.I kinda doubt low Flourine is your problem (at least not only this) - my F result on ICP is usually about the same, sometimes lower.

The tin? Yeah if so that is likely your problem. I think it usually comes from some metals corroding somewhere but I suppose it could also be a bad batch of salt or something.Whatever it is though -it’s been present since sept and increasing. Hmm.

It was much higher previously in November (11) vs now so I am trying to recall what I changed…The tin? Yeah if so that is likely your problem. I think it usually comes from some metals corroding somewhere but I suppose it could also be a bad batch of salt or something.
I've used poly filter a lot when i had brass corroding in my sump, it did help a lot with removing copper and zinc and it also changes color when absorbing copper. Not sure about other metals but they do have a lot of articles on their website explaining how this thing works. Another that i had luck with is triton detox, it's also labeled to remove copper but does have effect on other heavy metalsI looked at various pumps from the outside but have not had the time to seriously rip them apart. Read something called -poly filter can help (and change color) -not sure if legit or not?
I’ll have to look back at my other reports and see if this is new or I just missed the boat on this.
Can you post your full results?Well I think the issue is a serious deficiency of fluorine per ICP test?
