A single sample sent to the Fauna Marin laboratory is analyzed using ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy) instrumentation and returned as a full electronic report within 24-48 hours of arrival, covering more than 90 individual parameters with dosage and action recommendations for each value outside of the target range.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe test covers every major category of reef water chemistry. Basic values include conductivity, density, salinity, pH, alkalinity, CO2, and water color. Macro elements cover the ten primary mineral constituents of reef water: chloride, sodium, magnesium, sulfate, calcium, potassium, bromine, strontium, boron, and fluoride. Nutrients include nitrate, nitrite, total phosphorus, orthophosphate, and silicate. The trace element and contaminant panel covers 28 elements, including aluminum, arsenic, barium, lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, iron, iodine, copper, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, mercury, zinc, and others that home test kits cannot detect. Relation values provide contextual analysis, including salinity line, dynamic elements, and relevant line comparisons. A separate RO water panel tests 20 contaminants, nutrients, and trace elements in your RO source water — valuable for identifying problems upstream of your aquarium.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA prepaid FedEx Ground return shipping label is included in every kit.
