Thanks. Great insight into our bias. There is probably confirmation bias as well.I think we all are running survivorship biased experiments - we end up with great tanks of the stuff that can handle how we reef and forget about all the stuff that dies with our style of reefkeeping.
When we say "show me your tank" it should be followed up with "beautiful! now show me your drawer of the casualties that didn't survive your tank."
Anyway, If you sent an ICP every 3 weeks and assumed whatever you got back was accurate and adjusted all those >1ppm elements in the charts above by however much ICP said those elements had changed, I don't think the swings would be fatal to anything, probably not even harmful. The worst case scenario here is you swing your Br, Sr, B 20-50% once every 3 weeks. I don't envision anything getting killed off by that.
But that's just a made up guess.
