Fauna Marin Super MS ICP Test, 90+ Water Parameters with Prepaid Shipping
SKU: FM-ICPMS-04
- The Fauna Marin Reef ICP Super MS is a mail-in lab test that gives a full report on your reef tank water.
- It is made for SPS, LPS, and mixed reef tanks where owners want to find causes, not just treat symptoms.
- One test combines ICP-OES, ultra-trace ICP-MS, and organic analysis to cover far more than a standard ICP.
- A self-learning AI checks every result and automatically repeats the measurement when a value looks off.

ICP Water Test for Reef Aquariums with AI Analysis
The Fauna Marin Reef ICP Super MS is a mail-in water test for reef aquariums. You send a sample of your tank water to Fauna Marin's lab in Germany, and their machines measure what is really in it, down to amounts far too small for home test kits to see. ICP-OES machines measure the major elements and trace elements. ICP-MS machines go a step further and catch ultra-trace elements and pollutants. Added organic tests to measure dissolved waste in the water.
What makes this test different is what happens after the measurement. A self-learning AI checks every value for errors, automatically re-tests anything that looks off, and compares your results against healthy coral farms and large public aquariums around the world. A 10-person lab team of chemists, biologists, and longtime reef keepers then turns those numbers into plain recommendations. You get practical target values and clear next steps, not just a page of raw data.
Key Features:
- One test combines the full Reef ICP TOTAL analysis, ICP-MS ultra-trace analysis, and organic testing (SAK 254, NPOC, and TNb-bound nitrogen)
- Detects elements and pollutants at ultra-trace levels that standard ICP tests miss
- Self-learning AI checks every value, flags outliers, and automatically runs second measurements on suspect results
- Results are cross-checked by running identical parameters on multiple lab instruments at the same time
- Nutrients and halogens measured on Fauna Marin's own HSA analyzers, plus precise titration of salinity and alkalinity
- Daily comparison against long-term stable coral farms and leading public aquariums worldwide
- Reviewed by a 10-person team of chemists (including PhDs), biologists, microbiologists, and reef professionals
- Faster lab processing and result delivery than earlier Fauna Marin ICP tests
- Report gives practical target values and clear action steps instead of raw numbers alone
Ideal For:
- SPS, LPS, and mixed reef tanks where small water changes make a big difference
- Demanding reef keepers who want maximum stability and lab-grade accuracy
- Anyone troubleshooting coral health problems who wants to understand the cause instead of guessing
Pro Tips:
- Sample from the display tank, not the sump. Take water from mid-depth in the main tank, away from pumps and equipment. This gives the truest picture of the water your corals actually live in.
- Test during normal conditions. Do not sample right after a water change, dosing, or feeding. Early morning before feeding gives the most consistent baseline from test to test.
- Write down your sample ID. Note the ID number on your kit as soon as you register it, so you can reference it if you need to contact the lab about your results.
- Test on a schedule. Run an ICP test quarterly, or any time you make a major change like a new salt mix or new equipment, so you can spot trends and catch problems early.

While most of our equipment carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty, consumable products like fish and coral foods are not covered under traditional warranty terms due to their perishable nature and varied storage conditions. However, we fully stand behind the quality of every product we sell. If you experience any issues with your food purchase shortly after receiving it, such as concerns about freshness, packaging integrity, or product quality, please contact us at [email protected]. We're committed to making it right and will work with you to resolve any problems quickly and fairly.
Instructions:
- Register your test in the Fauna Marin Laboratory Software at https://lab.faunamarin.de/en using the code in your kit.
- Fill the sample container with water from your display tank, following the sampling instructions in the kit.
- Ship your sample from any FedEx drop-off location. Note: The prepaid label is valid for Continental U.S. shipments only. Customers outside the Continental U.S. must arrange their own return shipping.
- The lab analyzes your sample after arrival, and the AI validates the results, retesting any value that looks off.
- You receive your results electronically, with target values and clear recommendations for correcting any imbalance.
