Icp Water Test Recommendations/help

[Afonso]

Hi as per title looking to get one of these done but not really sure were to start from is it any main website or something were we can get them done? Do they test for trace elements? Are they worth the £££

Also looking at average cost and how often should I do one?

Thanks in advance

some LFS sell them

depends on what you are keeping

i would suggest every few months to verify test kits

Really? I was thinking that I had to send water to a lab or something, similar to the triton method.

Am keeping mostly sps and lps

These guys do one to order online (and they will price match): Link hidden to protect the innocent - but please click this line to view!

They do a test 2 which does test 1 (your system) and a 2nd bottle to test your RO (then at least you know the quality of your filtered tap water) for a little more ££££'s.

Good luck

I've just ordered some Triton Core 7 elements so will be going down the test route myself very soon

So this weekend will be swapping out my butter tub (as per my diatom thread), doing a water change and then starting to dose triton......hope it all works out in the end

I don't no that much about Triton that's another thing on my to do list is research it.

Hope everything goes ok Steve and I am sure everything will be ok!
