ICP Osmosis Test

ICP Osmosis Test Fauna Marin – ICP analysis of osmosis water for reef aquariums

Regularly testing the osmosis water from an Osmosis system is an essential part of maintaining a saltwater aquarium. With the Fauna Marin Osmosis test kit, the key parameters of the Osmosis water can be checked easily and quickly.

The Osmosis water analysis kits include everything necessary for a professional sample collection. The filtration of the sample aims for a safe and accurate analysis of nutrients and trace elements, without interfering particles.

Main Features

Parameters Measured

Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Sulfur, Phosphorus, Total Phosphate (calculated), Silicon, Silicate (calculated), Aluminum, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Iron, Copper, Lithium, Nickel, Mercury, Tin, Zinc.

Procedure

Register on the laboratory's website: lab.faunamarin.de and create an aquarium to register your sample. Once the sample arrives at the laboratory, a receipt acknowledgment is sent. The normal processing time for samples is at least 24 to 48 hours. The analysis is then available online and sent in PDF format by email. The online account provides information and recommendations related to the analysis. Calculators for different systems help determine the correct dosage.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to select a tracking option and provide a return address for shipping. The sample number should be kept for any potential inquiries. Additional shipping information can be found on www.faunamarin.de/support-downloads/.

Why Analyze Osmosis Water

Quality control: Osmosis water serves as the starting point for preparing seawater in the aquarium. High-quality water helps provide a suitable environment for corals, fish, and invertebrates.

Prevent contamination: Osmosis systems aim to remove various pollutants such as heavy metals, chlorine, pesticides, organic matter, and minerals from tap water. Checking the Osmosis water helps assess the proper functioning of the system and limits the introduction of undesirable substances into the aquarium.

Stability of the aquarium: Stable water parameters from high-quality osmosis water are important to limit stress and imbalances. Parameter fluctuations can be associated with stress situations and organism weakening.

Prevent algae growth: High levels of phosphate or silicate in osmosis water can promote undesirable algae growth in the aquarium. Monitoring these parameters helps prevent this type of problem.

Effective nutrient additions: Knowing the quality of the source water helps adjust the additions of products intended for water parameter management more precisely.

Please Note

The Fauna Marin ICP osmosis test is exclusively designed for the analysis of osmosis water and is not suitable for measuring drinking water, well water, or pool water.
