Fauna Marin ICP

[Reef.]

I have a free Fauna Marin ICP with a purchase of their salt, it contains 2 tubes, I was assuming 1 for salt water 1 for rodi, but no mention of rodi in the instructions and the pictures of how to collect the samples show two tubes being taken from the aquarium? Anyone know if I need to send in 2 salt water samples for the free test or 1 of both salt and rodi?

I have very little experience with this but I know the test that I did last that tests the R/O water came with 4 vials and if I remember correctly the RO vial had a red cap. And that test cost more than the test that doesn’t include the RO analysis. Unfortunately the instructions for these tests are horrible. Your better off finding a tutorial online.

Thanks, sounds as if its two from the aquarium then, if you had 4 to fill…just did another google and seen a picture of the red top you mentioned.

I agree, a lot of Germans speak excellent English but their written instructions tend to be poor.

Both salt. The Ro is a more expensive test, the one you have is the basic test.

Thanks for the conformation.

Just seen a post by Randy saying he doesn’t see much benefit in a RODI water analysis, so I’m happy without the rodi test.

My first ICP hope I don’t get addicted.

Yes, I agree the Rodi is not that useful. I have done 4 test in the past year with FM. I prefer the more expensive option because it includes nutrients, F, and some other stuff. Last month I went for an additional upgrade of MS, carbon, and organics, but yes expensive and now Im hooked…haha!

Oh great the more expensive test is back on the table I guess as it’s not just with added RODI analysis…thanks for that
