Triton Test Results - High Barium - What could be the cause?

[jacky]

Unfortunately I don't know. My question is, are your corals unhealthy because of this?

Ever since icp test came out,
people have elevated barium’s levers.

98 % of the people do not use the Zeo system

https://www.faunamarin.de/en/knowledge-base/barium/

its an interesting link.
they mention salt mix and also carbon and a few others
(maybe carbon blocks in out RODI units which could very common)

it’s an interesting one because of all the NON zeo uses out there with high barium.

it’s a mystery that need solving

yes you can have barium from some other sources, I had the case in the past , but I not change anything else to my routine and never had barium before.
I not think my actual level is problematic even if high , but it may become it, if it increases.

I use KZ zeolites and in my case the corals have not had any adverse effects and I have always replaced the zeolites as suggested and never had any adverse effects on the corals.

thanks and did you tested your barium levels? Maybe barium isn't a concern or you not have?
