Water Parameters

My water parameters have changed little over the course of keeping this tank. Initially my water parameters fluctuated and I found it was due to the salt parameters fluctuating between batches of the salt I was using. Since moving to the Aquaforest probiotic method my parameters have become much more stable and I have found the Aquaforest supplements improved coral and clam growth.

ICP-OES Test Results

ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) is an accurate and affordable technique which is used to analyze the chemical composition of a various types of liquid samples, e.g. drinking water, waste water or seawater. It empowers aquarists to control their water chemistry and master the art of closed system reef keeping.
