I wish they'd come out with a flat rate of $129/yr to do up 4 tests every 3 mos..

I'd buy into that program

I have only had one ICP test done.

It was through ATI. I sent my samples on August 27 to their California address (I'm in Colorado) and had my results on September 3.

As far as turnaround times go, I was quite surprised that they came back so quickly. Their website is decent. I'll be using them again.

I was but like I say each to there own if it suits you and works for you then keep doing what you’re doing for me I really don’t see the point
I think the only way I would ever consider another is if a tank really starts gong down hill and it would be a last resort.

I’d just recommend a good coral indicator and test water if there showing signs of stress

I don’t use these tests anymore.

Results didn’t make sense and did nothing but get me looking to lower something that was not there and to add things I don’t need in an amount I don’t know.

I’ll stick with my own testing of the “biggies” and use a regular small water change to maintain the small trace stuff.
