ATI Results - Thoughts?
Got back my first ever water test submission to a laboratory. Thoughts or concerns other than the obvious high Nitrates?

I didn't see anything that'd make me worry.

How long did it take to get your results? I’m still waiting for mine

Yes. you had to follow the steps and create a tank profile. It could be blank with information but I believe that's how they associate the test kit with your account.

That's really interesting! I don't understand the way results are listed? Looks like the sum of the two following results for each item. Why? Was it expensive? I'd love to have that done. Thank you for sharing your results.

One column is the reading from the tank. I think that's the first column. The second column is their "ideal" level. The third column is the difference. If you use the link, you'll get a formatted page (in German) that's more legible.

Aluminum matter at all?

Aluminum seems to irritate some corals, but it's seldom an issue in tanks unless there's an alumina-based phosphate binder in use.
