Our Benchmark In-Store Water Test provides a complete analysis of the key parameters that drive coral health and tank stability:

  • Salinity – the foundation of a balanced reef environment
  • Alkalinity – buffering capacity to support coral growth
  • Nitrate – essential nutrient balance without excess
  • Phosphate – controlled levels to prevent algae issues
  • Calcium – building block for coral skeletons
  • Magnesium – stabilizes calcium and alkalinity levels

With every Benchmark In-Store Water Test, you don’t just get numbers — you get expert advice and a clear path forward. We’ll explain what each result means, identify potential issues, and guide you toward the right solutions for your reef.

Each test is also automatically uploaded to your Benchmark Chemistry Tracker, allowing you to view your results over time and see them alongside personalized dosing recommendations. This makes it easier to spot trends, correct imbalances, and keep your reef stable between visits.

To make it even easier, we include clear, easy-to-use information cards that outline practical steps for correcting and maintaining each parameter. Whether you’re battling unstable alkalinity, struggling with nutrient levels, or fine-tuning calcium and magnesium, you’ll know exactly what to do.
