The ICP Water Analyses PLUS sends two samples to the Tropic Marin waterLAB: your aquarium seawater and your reverse osmosis (RO\/DI) source water. Both are run through inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) analysis for a detailed breakdown of the major, minor, and trace elements in each. That side-by-side view lets you pinpoint whether an issue is building up inside your tank or slipping in through your top-off and mixing water. This listing is the 1 Pack, a single PLUS analysis.
