ICP Water Analysis PLUS - Tropic Marin

Take the guesswork out of reef chemistry with Tropic Marin® ICP Water Analysis Plus — a full-spectrum seawater and RO/DI water test designed for precision and reliability. Using advanced ICP-OES technology, each sample is analyzed for over 35 trace and macro elements, plus 9 additional nutrient and parameter levels, giving you the most complete picture of your aquarium’s water chemistry.

In addition to seawater testing, the kit also analyzes your reverse osmosis (RO/DI) water, ensuring your source water is as pure as possible before mixing salt or topping off. Results are processed by qualified laboratory personnel and delivered digitally via lab.tropic-marin.com (select English in the upper right corner). Your personalized report includes element-by-element readings, visual trend tracking, and precise dosing recommendations to restore balance and maintain stability.
