Watched every video back to back, fantastic content and many helpful tips. Only found you today but see you have not uploaded in a long time, I really hope you come back.
Hi Wayne! Apologies mate I hadn’t seen your comment. I basically got pulled onto key work at the start of lockdown which pulled me away from the videos just due to time. The good thing is it gave the tank time to recover and should have the new update live over the weekend 😊👍 thanks for following along and the message pal it’s much appreciated 👍
BINGED! lol loved watching! your tank is looking beautiful! corals & lovely fish additions! sorry your having to deal with this.. fingers crossed your corals bounce back! looking forward to the next update.
@@ukreefer4907 thats ok hehe no worries 😁 it was so long ago I wrote this I forgot anyway 😂 thats great news! Glad everything is back on track! Looking forward to the next update! My eyes are peeled 👀
UK Reefer, still looks good bro!! Tell me about it.... swings and round about’s. Unfortunately My tank is taking ages to cycle, no signs of nitrite or nitrate.
diggers1987 thanks mate, will just be gutted if I lose these goniopora 😩 tbh I should have gone with my gut and got a second test done with someone else before dosing anything I didn’t like the look of. I’ll live and learn pal I’ll use ati’s tests in future. How are you cycling your tank pal?
Hello mate, watched all your vids and thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. Just wondering if you will be posting further as this one is almost a 2yrs old?
Hi thanks for following along! Apologies for the lack of videos, Covid screwed me for time with my business but I’m absolutely going to post very soon, new video isn’t far off and there’s a very big surprise 😊
Hi mate, apologies I didn’t see your video, it’s been a nightmare in all honesty that I’m still trying to get to grips with, new video coming very soon 👍
Sorry Neil the livestream kicked off pal, no idea how to get it back. Let us know how you get on with the ICP, this ones been a nightmare for me but going to send a fauna marin one off next week to see what they say. A friend of mines recommended ATI so it may be a case of using them moving forwards and using their trace elements
Aiming to be back very soon, been snowed under running the business and covid took alot of my time having to home school my daughter so been ploughing all the time I have to get the business back on its feet. Thankfully i'm there now and have something special to come to the channel very soon
The supposed cure is actually worse than just leaving it to that and doing some water changes. I know this video is now 2 years old but did u pinpoint the source of heavy metals in the end?
Hi pal, I did a second ICP with another company which came back clear so have no idea. I didn’t find a single rusty piece of equipment, didn’t change any kit or anything I was doing and the metals never showed again so I’m not sure if it was just a contamination on the test. Videos are coming back over Christmas 👍👍
thank you for this video i had the same problem with my ICP test and there said the same thing i need to change salt so i called trident and there said there would send me a new kit free and there also re ran my old water sent in and it was totally different so i think its a bad test i did send in a ATI test and there said my tank was 90 % perfect i would get a 2nd test done before you change the tank and STOP adding stuff thats my advice hope this helps
Bill Ray thanks for your message mate, my tank was running perfect until this icp came back pal. I questioned the guy that does the tests as mistakes happen but he insisted it was my water. Literally the day after I added detox my gonioporas started to go and corals started to fade. I’m hoping It can bounce back but I’ll be using ati for my tests from now on, I know several people who have had mistakes on their icp’s but it’s no joke when it’s causing the damage that it is. Thanks a lot for your comment pal it really is appreciated. I’m going to do an icp next week to make sure my waters getting back to normal but I won’t waste my time on this guy as he’ll just say the detox is working
@@ukreefer4907 I would use the ATI isp test i have had lots of this test done and there always come back with good advice i will never use the triton test again good luck with your tank hope it comes back mate
Bill Ray thanks mate I will do 👍 I’ll also never buy a triton test after this, if it was all failing before the detox I’d have said fair enough but it literally nose dived the day after. I’m sat watching corals I’ve had 3 years dying just praying I can bounce them back, thanks for your help and advice pal 👍
Hey Uk Reefer, I am here because the last 2 ICP tests I have had done have high Cobalt. I am thinking exactly the same as you, there is no metals in the tank that are rusting and I am not sure where this seems to be coming from. How did you end up solving this issue?
Hi Gavin, thanks for the message pal. I stripped everything down with the equipment 3 times and never found a thing pal. I followed their advice for a few weeks and things were getting worse, a guy messaged me on facebook after seeing the problems i'd had and said to stop following the advice and go back to my normal routine. I did that and the tank went back to normal. I'd lost the 2 amazing goniopora at this point but managed to save everything else. Before you do anything like that pal I'd check everything again and possibly do an ICP with another brand pal, let us know how you get on.
@@ukreefer4907 Yeah I have seen mine drop from 44 µg/l to 16 µg/l. Do you know what yours was? I did speak to my LFS but they suggested detox and after your video I wouldnt go near that with a barge pole! What are your cobalt levels like now? Maaan I am gutted for you about those Goni's they were looking awesome! I didnnt know I could get another company to do an ICP?
@@RedFive905 hey pal I can’t remember what mine was but according to the icp I had copper, cobalt, zinc etc through the roof but the tank was looking the best it had so far. You may still have metals somewhere pal so I’d try another icp company like ATI, that’s who I use now. Is your tank looking fine or are you losing stuff? I spoke to a few people who had great success with detox so I could have just been unlucky or maybe it absorbed things in there that the goni’s needed, I’ll never know pal but hopefully you get yours sorted. What metals are showing in yours?
I also use blue red sea salt and my aluminium was way high on icp test " but I was using a brightwells n03 export brick in sump whot lot say can leek aluminium! I used a product called Twolittlefishes MetaSorb and did all my aluminium in no time! also comes in its own filter bag" so just put into sock in sump! can re use over and over! no effects on my tank!
jonny jones thanks mate 👍 I’m Hoping I’ve about got all of this out but I genuinely believe there was a mistake with my icp (I know others who had theirs back the same week as me who all had very high levels which was against the norm for them, mine was perfect in February. Triton recommend blue bucket or tropic Marin pro so it blows my mind that the guy is blaming the salt
Andrius Rugienius I think it removes more than that pal from people I’ve spoken to in the trade. I stripped all of the equipment out and found zero rust but did an ati icp recently that shows no metal so it’s one of those I don’t think I’ll ever get to the bottom of
@@ukreefer4907 yesterday my icp results was shocking and I find out a rusty pump. I have detox, but decided to use cuprisorb, carbon and some snake oil :) hopefully this with a wc will be able to sort it.
Andrius Rugienius fingers crossed now you’ve found it it’s an easy fix pal 👍 I wish I could have found a rusty pump mate I’ve checked everything 3 times over 🙈
@@ukreefer4907 I did look one video recently and one guy couldn't find issue all year. In the end, he found that hinges of doors and the sump light has some rusts. When he took it away, all problems gone.
I wish mine had been pal. I continued with everything I was using before the issue and the icp's matched the near perfect one I did the month before the bad one. Found a few people in the end who had the same issue

Run some poly filter pads to remove metals and chemicals
no more videos?

use a poly filter
I lost a 5year old established reef after using TRITON Detox….
Detox removing only a copper and lead. Your otger metals stays in. You should find source of problem, then other actions.

Should have just done a succession of water changes, not added chemicals
I was just following the advice from Triton pal, I pay for ICP's to trust and follow what they say but on this occasion it went wrong unfortunately
Lol inactieve post , But experianced same problem and my problem was indeed the salt that contained traces of copper
