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.
