Hello Guys,
I recently posted about my issues with Alkalinity in the fact that I can't seem to control my alkalinity in my tank with a very minimal alk demand.
I got my ICP test back yesterday and Boron is high. Based on a couple articles that I have read including Randy Homes Farley's paper. It seems that Boron is present in most alkalinity buffers and since I have been dosing alkalinity with minimal results, maybe this is the reason? (Current ICP below)
Is boron anything to be worried about?
I have an NSA aquascape and since I started the tank, I feel like there has been issue after issue that I've never really had to deal with. Do you think the Cyanoacrylate glue that I used to connect the rocks scape may have a negative effect on a reef tank long term?
Unfortunately, nothing on this ICP test jumps out at me as anything majorly wrong with my tank other than the "high" Boron. Maybe a little too much Silicon in my RO?
I'm sure there is a more qualified, more experienced reefer on here that can decipher this better than I.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
