KOI Blue Green ICP Test

The KOI Blue Green ICP Test Fauna Marin provides a complete professional analysis of koi pond water with more than 50 measured and calculated values in the laboratory.

KOI Blue Green ICP Test Fauna Marin for koi ponds

The KOI Blue Green ICP Test from Fauna Marin is a laboratory analysis specially developed to precisely monitor the water composition of ponds housing koi carp. Based on the proven Blue Green Fresh ICP technology, this test has been adapted to the specific requirements of koi ponds.

Unlike quick tests performed directly at the pond side, the Blue Green ICP Koi Test combines different professional laboratory technologies to provide a much more complete picture of the water composition.

The analysis makes it possible to measure and interpret more than 50 values and ratios, including macroelements, trace elements, nutrients, and various pollutants potentially present in the pond.

A professional ICP analysis specially adapted to koi

Fauna Marin uses several complementary analytical methods. The ICP-OES technology makes it possible to precisely identify many macroelements and trace elements present in the water.

This analysis is supplemented by photometric and electrochemical methods to measure certain parameters that are not directly determined by ICP-OES, such as nitrates, nitrites, or different forms of phosphates.

One of the main advantages of the KOI Blue Green ICP Test Fauna Marin lies in the use of reference values specially adapted to koi ponds. The interpretation of the results therefore takes into account the particularities of these systems, often characterized by a large fish population, heavy feeding, and a high organic load.

Technologies used for the analysis

More than 50 measured and interpreted values

The Blue Green ICP Koi Test provides a particularly detailed analysis of pond water composition. It makes it possible to monitor the main mineral elements, nutrients, trace elements, as well as a large number of undesirable substances.

General values analyzed

Macroelements targeted

The analysis includes in particular sodium, magnesium, sulfur in sulfate form, calcium, potassium, strontium, and boron.

Halogens analyzed

The test also measures various halogens such as chloride, fluoride, bromide, and iodine.

Nutrients monitored

The laboratory analyzes in particular nitrates, nitrites, phosphorus, total phosphate, orthophosphate, silicon, and silicate.

Trace elements and pollutants targeted

The KOI Blue Green ICP Test searches for a large number of elements present at very low concentrations, making it possible in particular to identify certain potentially problematic contaminants.

Why perform a Blue Green ICP Test in a koi pond?

A koi pond works differently from a classic aquarium. The number of fish, their size, their feeding, and the significant production of organic waste place heavy demands on filtration and can gradually alter the chemical composition of the water.

Traditional tests make it possible to regularly monitor certain essential parameters, but they do not always make it possible to detect an accumulation of metals, an unusual concentration of a trace element, or an imbalance between several elements.

The KOI Blue Green ICP Test Fauna Marin therefore makes it possible to carry out an in-depth check of the pond in order to more easily identify any anomaly invisible with conventional tests.

Reference values specific to koi ponds

The interpretation of the results is based on references specifically adapted to koi ponds. This provides a more relevant reading of the results than a comparison with generic values intended for freshwater or a traditional aquarium.

The report also makes it possible to study various ratios between macroelements and nutrients, in order to obtain an overall view of the chemical balance of the water.

A complete diagnosis to better understand your pond

The Blue Green ICP Koi Test is a particularly useful tool when a difficult-to-identify problem appears, for periodic pond monitoring, or simply to verify the actual composition of the water being used.

Thanks to an analysis combining ICP-OES, photometry, and electrochemical methods, the KOI Blue Green ICP Test goes much further than routine analyses and provides a true snapshot of the pond's chemical composition.
