Tropic Marin ICP Water Analyses - 1 Pack

Take the guesswork out of your reef with a complete laboratory analysis of your aquarium water. The Tropic Marin ICP Water Analysis sends a sample of your seawater to the Tropic Marin waterLAB, where inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) analysis measures the major and trace elements along with common contaminants. You receive a detailed report of your results with clear recommendations, so you can fine-tune dosing, verify your salt mix, and catch problems before they affect your corals. This listing is the 1 Pack, a single analysis. Browse our full water testing and saltwater selections for the rest of your reef routine.
