Ideal For:
- SPS reef keepers are optimizing trace element levels for maximum growth and color
- Troubleshooting persistent coral health issues or unexplained losses
- Diagnosing mysterious algae outbreaks or water quality problems
- Establishing a baseline for new reef tank setups
- Monitoring water quality after switching salt brands or RO/DI systems
- Detecting contamination from household products, metals, or tap water
- Fine-tuning ultra-low nutrient systems (ULNS)
- Advanced reef keepers seeking data-driven system management
- Anyone experiencing declining coral health despite normal home test results
- Quarterly or semi-annual system health checkups
Pro Tips:
- Test quarterly or when making major system changes (new salt mix, equipment, or after coral losses) to establish trends and catch problems early.
- Collect your sample from the main display tank, not the sump, for the most accurate representation of conditions your corals experience. Sample mid-water column away from equipment.
- Use tracked shipping with a return address. Note your sample ID number immediately in case you need to contact the lab with questions.
- Take your sample during normal tank conditions - not right after a water change or dosing. Early morning before feeding provides the most consistent baseline.
- Compare your ICP results against the parameters of your salt mix's specifications to identify whether imbalances are coming from your supplements, evaporation top-off water, or the salt itself.
