This gives me more motivation to check my pumps and magnets!
you just never know until you look at all the metal in your tank..

So I don't think it is coming from the pumps. I have ordered some ICP tests from Triton and am waiting to receive them, when I get them I plan on testing my water and all the home made solutions I dose to see if there are any impurities that are making there way into the tank from my additives. But still the tank is looking good and growing like a weed.

But for all I know I could have dropped a SS screw from my giesemann fixture in the tank years ago and it is buried somewhere and I'll never find it.

I had a magnet in an Avast Marine probe holder rust and my W level went to above 500. I lost virtually all my SPS. It took me four months of weekly 20% water changes to get the W below 100. I'm finally able to keep SPS again.

I've had several mp's magnets swell. I check mine all the time because I'm paranoid.

2una, Thanks for sharing the article.
I used to use a Tunze nanostream pump that was attached to a new style cheap magnets manufactured in China as opposed to the old style and strong magnets manufactured in Germany. The wet side of the magnet set (the new ones come with two small pieces) split and rusted. I did not notice it until I removed the pump from my tank for cleaning. This must have affected my reef tank though I did not see any noticeable deterioration of the health of my corals or other invertebrates at the time.

How do you like the abyzz pump? Does it live up to the specs and price tag? I don't see many people running them yet but if they can push the head ft they say, then I really want one!

Thanks for all the kind word everyone, I was away last week when I posted that video, so I apologize for the late responses.
Yeah, the whole tank is really picking up steam. I'm going to have to get in there and start cutting down some of the acros that are growing into the smaller corals. Quote:
Thanks Dave! Quote:
Thanks Matt, yeah good times for the tank finally! Quote:
Manganese Chloride 0.25g Zinc Chloride 0.19g Potassium Iodide KI 0.81g Then I dose 1.8ml per 100 Liters per day.

Thanks
You use the products from Triton, why you donīt add them in the liquids directly. You just need to speak with Triton and ask which bottles or liquides has Manganese, Iodine and zinc. Many here in Germany, for example, they use core 7 from Triton and they add the iodine directly to one of the bottles. You only need to calculate based on your daily dosage. Triton can tell you exactly how much to add based on your dosage. Also, do you think that Manganese precipitate after/before dosing? Each time I try too reise it, the Triton result always show 0.
