Reef Moonshiner’s ICP-MS Test

Get a deeper, more precise look at your reef tank’s chemistry with the Reef Moonshiner’s ICP-MS Test, an advanced water analysis designed for reef keepers who want more than a basic ICP report.

Unlike standard ICP-OES testing, ICP-MS is capable of detecting ultra-low levels of critical trace elements that can directly impact coral health, coloration, and long-term system stability. For reef keepers following the Reef Moonshiners method, this test delivers the level of detail needed to make more accurate dosing decisions and better understand what is really happening in the system.

This test is especially valuable for troubleshooting issues like coral fade, poor coloration, unexplained instability, or for fine-tuning a trace element program with more confidence and precision.

Samples are analyzed by Oceamo Laboratories in Austria, and results are delivered by email while also being uploaded to your personal ICP portal for historical tracking, charting, and custom analytics.

What’s Included:
Advanced ICP-MS water analysis
RODI water test for a more complete system snapshot
Microfilter for cleaner sampling
Prepaid return label
QR code instructions for easy submission
Results uploaded to your personal ICP portal

Why It Stands Out:
Detects trace elements at levels many standard ICP tests cannot
Helps evaluate the effectiveness of your dosing strategy
Supports more accurate correction of trace element imbalances
Built for serious reef keepers who want tighter control and better data
Ideal for reef systems using the Reef Moonshiners method

Best For:
Reef keepers troubleshooting coral color or health issues
Tanks running a trace element dosing program
Hobbyists wanting a more precise alternative to standard ICP testing
Long-term reef stability and trend tracking
