Hey guys sorry to bother <Hey Tom, no bother at all.> but we have been sending water samples to ICP labs and when ever our boron level seems to increase to about 40 <40 what??... Typical values in nature are 4-5 ppm while in aquarium systems can be higher.> you know it’s a very drastic increase in Cyano in normally pristine Systems we also noticed that when I was boron level increases our Coraline bleaches and flakes off the walls <It may have to do with your salt, although normally it does not come in high levels in the salt mixes commonly used for aquariums, so , it could be more related to buffer additives, do you use any?...I wouldn’t worry, IF your B level is in the normal range. You can return the Boron to safe levels via water changes.> Never knew that Boron was that important and that detrimental to both of these. <Oh, yes, could be an issue if it gets off the charts. Thanks for sharing. Wil.>
