I've been trying to figure out where this tin, and now copper, is coming from. I'm out of ideas though..
Here's my most recent triton test - 4 ug/l tin and 9.5 ug/l copper
And this one is a month ago - 6 ug/l tin and 2 ug/l copper
I've replaced my heater, which had a bit of condensation inside it, and checked my vortech pumps. None of the magnets seem swollen.
I have a vertex return pump that also seems fine, ph and temp probes, and a small pump (almost new) that runs my pax bellum algae reactor.
I added some cuprisorb to my filter socks after the test a month ago. Tin has came down a bit as you can see, but Copper is actually going up! I've got to figure this out before it hits a level that impacts my SPS.
Help me brainstorm - what could be the source? I have also repainted my stand where it was beginning to rust with Por15 paint but this was several months ago before the Copper showed up.
