CoralVue ICP Tests

[Reefer5640]

Has anyone used the CoralVue ICP Tests (saltwater and/or RODI)? I’m looking into buying a few tests, one for my DT, one for my coral QT, and one for my RODI. I like the idea of them being in the US, hopefully that means quicker turn around.

I wonder if any ties to icp- analysis

Yes, CoralVue uses ICP-Analysis.com for the testing. I've sent them about 5 samples over the past year. I usually get my results in about 4 days. Here's my latest report:

I'm usually in a hurry to get my results, so I drop it off at the post office and send it Priority Mail which costs about $3.50. Not sure what regular postage would be.

How long does it take for you to get your results when you ship it priority?

Sorry didn’t realize your post was the one that stated how many days it takes to get them back.

I recently got my first test results back. It is definatly interesting. I was aware my po4 had been climbing although my corals have been very happy. Apparently I have been dosing too much Strontium and iodine. I wonder where my high Bromine level is coming from. I think it cost more than $3.50 to send it in by standard post from Ca.

I can't get a hold of these guys. I sent in a sample on 4/1.

FYI from their website:

Please note: As of 8/1/17, the postage rate for test samples is $2.67. However, we do encourage customers to pay for tracking in order to minimize the chance of your sample getting lost in the USPS system.

That’s interesting as the post office charged me $3.57 when I sent mine in.
