Marinlab water test results

Wondering if someone could take a look at the results and let me know if anything looks off? I know the basic levels such as mg cal alk etc. But some I have no idea are good or bad.

Trouble getting pic to post ,will be in the comments

Hope this works

I had a bit of trouble reading the numbers, but I didn't see anything to make me worry. It reports lithium and aluminum as a bit high, but not enough to be a problem. The lithium might be from the salt mix. Aluminum might be due to the use of PhosGuard or something similar, or might be more random.

How’s that

Those are easier to read. I don't see anything that'd make me worry much.
