So, that's a good illustration of the limits of ICP testing. It only shows you how much total of each element. In this case the Cl is mostly (all?) chloride, which is part of 'salt.'That seems like alot of chlorine to me, but I never was good at chemistry.
I wouldn't worry about them, but people will have different opinions on testing for things that are present in parts per billion that may or may not be needed.what are the possible effects of low iron, zinc, manganese, and cobalt on a reef system? Will the absence cause problems for the op? I imagine a trace elements solution could boost those for you but no idea how fast the numbers could be safely raised #reefsquad
Look up Reef Moonshiners and put your numbers in the assessment tool. You'll know everything you need to do
It is all in Andre's handbook on what to dose daily and how much to start with. Monthly ICP tests for a few months gets you a good baseline on everything else. I now send in an ICP every 6-8 weeks and make corrections if there are any needed.IMO, its more complicated that that, unless you test nearly every day for a while.
Some elements may deplete in only a day or two, so you'd need to test very often to know how often to dose.

I am sure people could nitpick Andre's method but thousands of tanks are running it with the best results I have seen in 16+ years in the hobby. I have never had a tank doing better so he is definitely doing something right
