icp analysis

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...

I have been having issues with my reef tank, no new corals are surviving and all past corals have since died. I had posted another post explaining all my reef issues over the past year and someone suggested I do this test to see if theres anything that stands out that could be killing my corals…...

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...

So I’ve been having trouble with sps having STN after about a week or two. I just received my test relays back and would love to see what people think would cause this. My alk, calc, mg are all super stable and alk fluctuates 8.7-8.5 daily.

Hi Everyone, 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

I´ve been questioning myself a lot lately: do we really need to replenish all those traces? Do we really need to keep our water as close as we can to sea water? Long ago there were lots of thriving tanks while nobody even knew or talked about trace elements, many were R2R amazing featured...

Good afternoon, just got my icp test results back and could do with some help and advise. So many orange readings and I just don't know where to start! I'm not currently dosing anything and doing 20% water change fortnightly. Corals / cuc doing terrible hence the test being done.

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

Hi all, I have enclosed my ICP results and am interested in peoples opinions, and what difference if any dosing the low micro elements would have. Also I note my salifert reading for Mg was way off and there are no readings for Lanthanum or Iron yet I add these for phosphate control. Thanks

Hi all, I got ICP results back from Tropic Marin, some interesting results. Firstly Mg is measuring 1540, I am measuring 1350 on salifert, alarming difference. I will try a different test kit on this. The other major elements were close to my own measurements. I did an aquaforest icp about 2...

SAMPLE STORAGE AND ITS IMPACT ON PHOSPHATE MEASUREMENT In a discussion on R2R @BigJohnny posed a question about why his Hanna ULR Phosphorous test results were significantly higher (2-3 times) than his ICP test results…. Here is a link to the discussion...

Hi all... Just had results back from my first ICP test. I had them test samples from my display tank and my RO water tank. Everything looks good apart from two 'pollutants' ... Tin and Aluminium! My RO results show zero for both Tin (Sn) and Aluminium (Al) ... But my display tank samples reads...

I ran ATI, Triton, & FaunaMarin ICP tests on my 160 gallon reef tank. All three tests were taken within 3 minutes of each other from the same location within the aquarium. Attached are the results. TLDR: I now trust the results of all three (except Triton Iodine) as they all reasonably agree...

Hi everyone, Been a while since we have been active here but that is about to change. TRITON has a lot of things happening behind the scenes and we are excited to share some information as we have done in the past. We are happy to note that our US customer base is constantly growing and we...

I received my ATI ICP test results back and am shocked to find that my Alkalinity and Phosphate/Phosphorus were so wildly different. Alkalinity: ATI ICP - 7.18 dkh Hanna Checker - 8.2 dkh Phosphorus: ATI ICP - 40.32 ug/l phosphorus and .12 mg/l phosphate (ug/l to ppm is 0.0403) Hanna Checker -...
