Have you water tested professionally

I have always said that we need a service like this for our hobby. Most of us are hobbyist not chemists. I would probably use a service like this 3 to 4 times a year.

Well if anyone does hear back from them about rates for Canadian customers.. please let us know. I might email them again too. It's a great idea, just mail in your samples, they email you back the panel results...

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

You might also be able to solve some crimes while your at it.

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).

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
