I need some opinions on my water parameters. I started to use an online company to test my water. I sent them water samples and they sent me reports via email. I have done this twice so far and implemented corrective actions based on my first set of results. However things have not turned out as I expected.
SiO2-3 went from 0.8 t o 2.1 which was bad to worse! After the first result I replaced all 4 filters in my RO/DI (even though TDS was 0) and doubled the frequency of my water changes. I bought a Salifert silicate test kit and I plan to test my RO/DI water and then test some freshly made saltwater to see if either of these are the culprit. Any other ideas on what might be doing this?
B (boron) went from 1.9 (low) to 6.1 (high). Any ideas where this might have come from besides the salt mix?
On a good note my Cu++ went from 0.02 to 0.00! Not even a trace!
