01: ICP Dosing Solutions
If you have had an ICP analysis performed on your system and would like assistance in assessing the results and then accurately applying the tools at your disposal to make necessary adjustments to critical ionic values, then please email us a pdf copy of the report (captiv8aquaculture@pm.me). Please do not send links through Google Docs or Amazon, as we are unable to open them. Additionally, please do not send screen shots of the analysis, as these take additional time to read and may be incomplete, rendering incorrect calculations.
Our interpretation is comprehensive and there is no charge. Please allow up to two business days for the interpretation to be returned. Data is provided in the form of an email and an Excel document. If you are requesting an interpretation for the first time, we respectfully request that all information provided be reviewed thoroughly prior to replying with questions. Note that it is Captiv8 Aquaculture's strict policy not to incorporate any AI into our work product. Interpretation of ICP analyses carried out by Captiv8 Aquaculture is performed entirely by company owner and Marine Biogeochemist CR Wood, without the use of AI.
If you would like us to prepare a customized dosing solution for your system, then please see the product listed below. No subscription is required (or offered) for the service of interpreting ICP analyses or preparing customized solutions.
Clientele with Microsoft, gmail, and Yahoo email addresses: Be sure to add captiv8aquaculture@pm.me and captiv8aquaculture@protonmail.com to your list of trusted email recipients before you email us for an interpretation, otherwise our reply to your inquiry may be bounced back as undeliverable and you will arrive at the erroneous conclusion that we have not performed the interpretation. If you use a Microsoft or Yahoo email address and don't receive a reply from us within three days of initial email, then please call during business hours or text six four six four three one eight seven nine 3 for an update. You can reach us through WhatsApp at this number, also.
Please read and follow all instructions on the product page for sending us your ICP analysis. Be certain to include the net system volume, as this information is often incorrectly notated on ICP analyses, and errors in dosing calculations will occur if the net volume for the system in question is incorrectly entered into our calculator; this is entirely the customer's responsibility.
If no chloride value has been reported, then you must include the water temperature and specific gravity values at the time of sampling (if not known, then provide the average temperature and SG values maintained in the system).
If you prefer an AI-based automated "solution" to calculating the dosing requirements of Isol8 solutions after having received an ICP analysis, then check out the Captiv8 Automated Dosage Calculator on the Reefability app (visit the app store for your mobile device), which enables uploading of the ICP report and rapid calculation of dosing requirements. Please note that the Reefability app is entirely owned and operated by the app creators. Captiv8 Aquaculture does not receive proceeds from the Reefability app. While initially developed in partnership with Captiv8 Aquaculture and our early ICP Analysis Interpretation and Dosing Calculator Suite, data output from the app may not match the output of our in-house interpretation, due to the continual upgrades of our interpretation calculator, dovetailed with the actual context and operating parameters of the system in question. Questions pertaining to the app should be directed to the app administrator.
