Oceamo Classic laboratory analysis
Analysis kit for taking samples in saltwater aquariums.
All important chemical parameters in the reef aquarium are recorded using ICP-OES, ion chromatography (IC), titration, photometry and probe measurement. This allows deficiencies and accumulations of undesirable elements to be reliably diagnosed. The customer sends the sample to Oceamo and receives the analysis results by email within a few days. (In Austria, it is also possible to hand in the samples to some specialist retailers.)
Advantages:
- With our IC we can also reliably determine fluoride, nitrate and nitrite in extremely low concentrations.
- Comprehensive advice during the evaluation
- Filtration of samples: This ensures professional sampling, no falsely high results
- Fast processing time (usually less than 4 days)
- Scientifically sound methodology (Dr. in technical chemistry, a decade of experience in research and pharmaceutical manufacturing)
- Photometric phosphate determination, not just indirectly via ICP phosphorus measurement: This provides a much more reliable phosphate value than other providers
- Honest values – do not specify many decimal places if this level of accuracy cannot be achieved by the method used.
- Use of a modern, high-performance ICP-OES spectrometer. Continuous monitoring of the measured values through suitable quality control mechanisms.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:
- Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
- They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
- Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
- Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
- The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
- To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
- Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
- Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
- The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
- In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
