Molybdenum contaminant in Watt's nickel plating solution

Q. Is there any way to filter out, precipitate out or plate out molybdenum from the plating solution? We have about 75ppm by analysis moly in our Watt's nickel plating solution which was introduced from a chilled water leak at our cooling coils. The chilled water system has a moly-based corrosion inhibitor in it.
