How can they be if same 2 samples test different

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 still wouldn’t waste my money but each to there own

Did you contact Oceamo to let them know this happened? The owner is also active on these forums and is very transparent with their testing process.

This was ATI. I didn't bother contacting them because I figured I would just get some excuse

Ahh sorry. I thought chip shop was referring to Oceamo and you responded to him. My bad.

Most likely my bad I thought he was talking about ICP in general. I get confused easily :zany-face:

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.
