Hi All,
First of all, sorry if this is not the correct thread to post this.
Since I start on reefing, I learned that one of the best tools to achieve success in this hobby is by measuring the main elements on our tank water and what better tool for this that through ICP tests. But I noticed...
Hello everyone,
I wanted to get some opinions on my icp result that i got. The tank has been running for 6 months with maybe 2 water changes to clean the sand and algea.
I've been dosing All for reef daily, but magnesium was a bit low so i'm dosing that on the side too. Sidenote: my calcium...
Is the Aqua Medic water testing company still in business? I found information on Bulk Reef Supply about them and their test is what I’m looking for but I can’t seem to find anywhere to actually purchase it from. Is this still a company? If so, does anybody have a link to where I could purchase...
How do you all feel about ICP testing (and now other types of lab aquarium testing, like microbiome testing and tank DNA tests)?
While I could see the results as interesting, I don't really see the overall benefit/value in these types of expensive mail-away tests. Ive never bothered with one, I...
Hello Reefers,
I hate to do posts like these but I feel it’s necessary to grow as a community and to hold vendors accountable.
I sent out an ICP from @Fauna Marin to their Ft Myers location which got delivered on July 23rd. It’s August 8th and they have not given me the results back. The most...
Hello all,
I have another thread on hear describing some issues I have been having with my coral. Specifically SPS. So last week I sent off some water samples to ICP-Analysis.com as well as ATI Labs. Last night I had my TSA Fruity Pebbles frag RTN and noticed both my Oregon Tort frags starting...
Hi there
I sent a ICP test off on the 4th Jan 2021 from UK to Germany and am yet to receive my results, I'm a little concerned as I have now seen mention of a customs form that now needs to be done to send anything from the UK to Europe after Brexit, Does anyone know if this still applies to...

just got my test results in for the ICP. Need your help identifying what is out of whack in my tank so I can get it fixed.
Looks like I should dose some trace elements?
Aluminum at 41.26?
dealing with STN for a while on Acro, so would be great to nail it down
thanks!

Took right at 2 weeks, but finally got my ATI ICP test results back and I was very surprised.

First of all, I'd like to say, I really wish these values were able to be switched between the metric vs imperial system because it's hard to gauge how accurate my tests have been in...
What an ICP-OES machine CANNOT test
As the company that developed the method for sea water analysis and making broadband testing available to aquarists, we at TRITON often get asked what an ICP-OES machine CAN test. These days it is getting more and more confusing with the proliferation of...
I started my tank in March of 2019. Things have been going well until recently. I've noticed some, not all, of my SPS and LPS corals' tissue start to recede. I thought this could be due to dosing vibrant so I stopped dosing it 4 weeks ago. My issues continued so I bought an ICP test to try to...
