Advice? ICP testing - Who's doing it?

I used Icp analysis by coralvue, no complaints with the service. I used it just as a precautionary test. Tank was 6 months old and wanted to just see the full picture.
Next time though, I will go with triton. Even though it’s more expensive, they help provide some additional advice to correct any paramaters that might be off.

 

I use the ICP test with Triton. I send in a test every 6-9 months to just confirm there is nothing going on that I'm not aware of. I've used it on my 75 gallon tank and cube tank.

 

There was a small amount of Arsenic in my water. But when looking into it, many other reefers had this pop up from the same testing company. So I suspect it was a false reading.

 

Several GIRS members have used the Triton test. Once a year members are offered the Triton test at a savings.

I send in at least 2 tests a year just to make sure I'm on track with water quality. I have sent in a couple tests when I thought there was a problem. There was so I attempted to fix the issue and sent in the second test to see if the problem was resolved.

I would be happy to again offer the Triton test to members at a reduced price. We would need to have a minimum of 20 tests purchased for the special pricing. Tests are not mailed to members so arrangements for getting them is a necessity. If my memory serves me correctly, we try to have a club event to get them to members. Maybe SpringFest if approved and if there's enough interested.

Ive been using the ICP test for about a year. It's cheaper than the Triton, and I get my results in less than a week.

 

There are a few ICP tests available. Triton is now being tested in the US since the facility is completed. Tests are not sent overseas now I like Triton because of not only all they test but directions are given on how to remedy any problem. The difference in price is minimal imo.
