I see an opportunity here. How about CSI AQUATICS. All we need to do is fine a lab willing to do the work.

He he he........... when I used to work in a lab I could have done it. Not sure a lab would do it for a reasonable price (It's been 15 years since I last worked there).

Cheers,

Some people on RC have used it, but have experienced some difficulties. It seems that the original tests weren't done with saltwater in mind, they tested the water like it was freshwater. I'm not sure if this has been solved yet, but I know its a known issue.

The only down side I see is if you make adjustments to your water and have to wait to find out if your adjustments are correct. Most likley your going to have to have some home test kits handy.

Yes I would see this service as a yearly advanced test or if you had an odd issue that you couldn't find a solution to but suspected a none traditional test that we do not usually test for

I sent them another email yesterday inquiring about services to Canadian customers ... so far no reply. I'll wait a polite period before sending them a reminder ... maybe if anyone else is seriously considering using them please email them too (if you hear back please let us know). Maybe they just need to be convinced that there's enough of a market north of 49 to consider doing it...

Us emailing must have helped, I did get a reply - although it was to the effect of "we're still trying to figure out how to charge you, stay tuned."
