Aquarium Water and PAR Analysis
Aquarium Water Analysis
Lab grade water analysis is the most efficient, accurate, and guaranteed snapshot of your aquatic system's health. With a series of these professional snapshots, we can identify patterns and diagnose previously undetected issues. In addition, we can use these results to fine tune dosing systems to a standard error of less than 5%, and take steps to make your system completely self-sufficient.

Lab-Grade Aquarium PAR Analysis
PAR stands for "Photosynthetically Active Radiation". This is a measurement of photons in units of Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD). When you have plants or coral in your tank, it is important to know how much light is reaching these organisms. If there is too much or too little, specimens won't grow properly and can even die.
With the use of a lab-grade PAR meter, I can measure the exact amount of light reaching your photosynthetic organisms. We can then use this data to map out your light, plant, and coral arrangement to achieve an optimal layout.
With proper data, your corals and plants will grow faster and healthier, limit algae growth, and you will greatly reduce the risk of loss of expensive organisms.
