Got the results back from an ICP-Analysis and was not happy with a couple readings. ICP says the calcium is 371 but before it was sent out I tested it with a Hanna checker which said 433 and a Red Sea kit that said 500. Also the Magnesium on my Red Sea kit has read over 1600 for a couple months but ICP says it is 1345.8! All my test kits are within dates and I realize it is a hobby grade test kit but I should at least be closer than this! I would think I should trust ICP more but how in the world would I dose for something I cannot test accurately.
Is it possible that the water values changed while in transit? Seems hard to believe that is the case though. I mailed is within a couple days and it want inside until it got to the shipper.
Not sure what to think at this point.
Arsenic, Strontium, and Iodine were all low. I have planned to dose Iodine but sounds like a water change is in order first.
