Where did you send off to? Did you send to CoralVue HQ in Slidell Louisiana? We ship the test off three times a week, Monday Wednesday and Friday, to the Fauna Marin facility in Germany.

I send a test off once a month, usually takes me about 4 to 5 days to get results.

I see you already got your results so this is just a comment:
I've used the cheaper Fauna Marin "Reef ICP" test (not more expensive "Reef ICP Total" test) a couple of times and have been pretty satisfied so will likely buy again.

I like that the results are always available on their website and you can choose presentation format (navigable results vs PDF).

Just wait until you are able to get a "Tank Forcast". After sending 5 Reef Total tests within a 6 month time, Fauna Marin is able to forecast upcoming issues that you may be facing. Such as coral parasites, cyanobacteria, dinos, etc.

Nice tip -- I'm more likely to send about 1 (maybe 2) per year for the foreseeable future though.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
