ATI ICP Lab Analysis Pro for Reef Aquariums - Old Version - Advanced Water Testing with RO Water Analysis - Nitrate, KH & Fluoride - 1 Test Kit

ATI > Triton > ICPAnalysis.com I've tried the three major providers and this is the best. here's why. 1) shipping label included. I'm lazy, dealing with postage in 2019 is archaic. They solve that problem for me ahead of time. Which makes me more likely to actually do the test. Which keeps my pets alive. my precious, precious cnidarians! and their Osteichthyes (fish), Crustacean (shrmps & crabs), and Gastropoda (snails) friends happy. 2) tests RO water. Yep, I found a problem. Neither Triton nor ICPAnalysis.com do this (unless you want to burn an extra test kit) 3) Accuracy. They're Germans. With a lab. Seriously. 4) Nitrate results. the others test for individual elements. I called an insider and they said that ATI spent a bunch of extra money on a special machine to test nitrates but then he got into chemistry which is hard so I got lot. I don't try my Red Sea nitrate test kit, I trust germans with a high end scientific instrument. Yes, my nitrates are too high darn it! The only bad thing is the wait. Yep, it ships to Germany. Don't worry, it's on a plane. And I like the sweet anticipation of RESULTS. It's something to look forward to... and be slightly afraid of. It's like going to the doctor and getting a blood test. AM I NORMAL?!! I can't wait to find out! (and no, even advance reefers don't get perfect results and aren't normal all the time). As far as cost... it's basically like a Star Trek level test on the elemental composition of your water. It involves plasma. and German lab techs. If you are on a tight budget, please go fish only with live rock (there are awesome non reef safe fish I would LOVE to keep. like puffers. especially puffers) or go freshwater. Saltwater Reefs aren't for the light of wallet. Reefers know that reefkeeping is basically saltwater water keeping with some expensive animals on the side. This is the best way to keep your water as dialed in as possible.

Very accurate and they gave me some great advice

I tried the Fauna Marin icp test a few months ago, and not only did they lose my kit, their customer service was non-existent and ghosted me when I inquired about it. ATI's test kit in contrast contained clear instructions, and even an included return shipping label. Using the web site was really straight forward and I had my results within a week (sent from Los Angeles). At $45 this is pretty reasonable too. Very happy with the experience.

Long turnaround time, but solid test results. Love that it tests my Rodi water. Found high silicone in my rodi water who would have known.

Glad I did it. Nothing I didn’t expect. 4stars due to a long delay to get the results back.

DEFINITELY NOT 1–3 day fast service. I’ve taken this test three times, and it always takes about A WEEK for the sample to be delivered to the lab and another SEVEN DAYS to receive the results. By the time you get the results, they’re no longer useful for those who need them ASAP…

I have used several of these to check the water parameters in my reef tank. Turn around time of water analysis is good and they give good recommendations on how to correct any problems.

Helped save my reef! My corals has been looking a little dull and couldn’t figure out what was going on. A little cyano-like film started here and there and levels I can check for were all fine. (Ca, KH, Mg, Phos, Nitrate, and pH.) Sent a sample in and found that iron, zinc, and nickel were exceptionally high. The powerhead for stirring cheato in refugium was full of rust from the impeller assembly degrading. Water change, dumpster for the powerhead, and should be back to normal in a couple weeks. My corals already starting to look better 24hr after WC and pump removal. Waiting on next Test Kit to show up as I type to confirm. Highly recommend

Très bien, correspond à mes attentes. Je vais recommander ultérieurement.

Schnelle Lieferung Top

sempre uguale ottimo

Todo bien.

Use these for multiple tanks and great way to keep records and simple adjustment suggestions for minor and major elements
