icp

Have u ever done an ICP test? I have never done an ICP test in three yrs now and I have had things like rusty hose clamps to sea hares dying and going into my wave maker, and still have what I would call a successful mixed reef tank. I may be extremely lucky... How many others r like myself in...

Has anyone tried out the Modern Reef ICP testing service? I sent my sample out three weeks ago and when I check status on the website it stills says they have not even received my sample. Super annoying that you have to make your own label and pay for shipping to send the sample in. That...

I have a 7 month old 30 gal mixed reef tank. Things are going pretty good - just auto dosing AFR and adjusting dosing every 2 weeks to hit ALK of 8. I also have to add magnesium which for some reason is being consumed faster. I'm doing 20% WC with Red Sea Blue salt every 2 weeks as well. I...

Hello, I have a Fluval 13.5 gallon mixed reef tank. I use an AI Prime for lighting with blues and violets at max and whites at 20%. The tank is 1 year and 2 months old and I've had moderate growth with most of the soft corals I put in there but SPS and to an extent LPS have only survived and not...

I did the Tropic Marin ICP Plus test with the tank and RO water. I know the iron is high because I just found a rusty bolt on my light mount, which was swapped out, so that should be taken care of now, I hope. Also, they say my nitrates are very high, but when I use the HR Hanna tester, my...

Hi everyone, I believe the community would really benefit from an open source database for ICP test results that (in time) could be used to explain the occurrence of problems using machine learning tools. Does anyone know whether this has been done before? I know Fauna Marin claims they are...

Any math wizards out there ? Please help ! I am terrible lol reefing is tough man lol One is my solution concentration and the other photo is my ICP results I have 340 liters tank

I sent my RO / Tank water off for analysis and it came back with a low quality score. I wanted to send the water off because after several years of great growth on my euphyllias they all started melting and the tank began to break out heavily in algae. I removed what was left of the euphyllias...

I am interested in starting the moonshiners method on my reef tank. I have a ton of other ICP-OES testing kits. However, none are ATI kits. Can other ICP-OES test be used and still produce valid and accurate results? I would love to start the method using the box of 14 fauna Marin ICP tests...

Good morning. I have a question. I have the Hanna phosphorus ULR (ppb) HI736 test. I have recently done an ICP (Tropic Marin) And I have doubts about what ICP value I should check my measured values against the Hanna Phosphorus test. My last measurement with the Hanna Phosphorus test was...

This question is more so aimed at @Randy Holmes-Farley, but anyone can feel welcome to respond. Do you think ICP analysis is a worthwhile tool (and expense) for reefers? Long time successful reef keepers: do you use ICP testing and how often?

Hi All, First of all, sorry if this is not the correct thread to post this. Since I start on reefing, I learned that one of the best tools to achieve success in this hobby is by measuring the main elements on our tank water and what better tool for this that through ICP tests. But I noticed...

Hi reefers, Just got result for my first ICP test, wondering if anyone can help read the result. I have a mix reef with sps and LPS, and I was using instant ocean reef crystal for almost a year, and recently switched to regular IC salt. Roughly 10% WC weekly, doses BRS two parts with Magnesium...

I just got my results back and not sure about the sulfur and other high readings any suggestions? Tank is 150 gallon 2 years old

I just got my ICP test returned me. The results were interesting to say the least. As an example, I didn’t think my phosphates would be zero as my Hanna Test show them to be in 0.3 PPM range. The ICP test I used was this. I’m thinking that I need to get my zinc level down first, but was...

I have a lot of 5 new in box ICP Analysis Test Kits. These are the ICP Mass Spec 50 plus element kits. 5 unopened kits. Asking $100 picked up Local DET Area or $110 shipped for the lot.

Hi all, Just got my results back from ICP analysis and everythings was okayish besides a wayyyy to high manganese reading. I am not sure how, but my manganese readings are almost 10000% too high. I would think that it is a measuring error but they measure it in duplo. Can anyone tell me how...

Hello Everyone! This is a „takeout“ from the reef moonshiners thread, which can be found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/moonshiners-method-feedback.996193/ One point raised in this thread is that quality from seawater labs is often seen with a lot of skepticism. I would like to quote...

Hey guys this is my icp results. Anything to concerning? Do you have any experience with any element on my ipc that my cause issues at the value i have them?

I just got my ICP results back from the icp.reef-zlements kit I sent off a few days back. I have noticed 2 things that im not really sure how to fix. 3.57 µg/l Cobalt When it should be 0.1 - 1 µg/l Thatsvery high? What could cause this? and 122.92 µg/l Aluminium When it should be 0 - 20...

Found this in my ATI analysis in my RO/DI bucket its the only thing that was observed in the RO/DI water. Any idea if it's toxic at this level and how to remove it/prevent it from continuing? This RODI system is the BRS 5 filter one and this is after about a month of using it, not sure if it's...
