That's a good suggestion!
Unfortunately, I have some personal opposition to ICP testing. There's ICP testing right in my back yard here in Denver.
Steve, who used to run a local aquarium shop here started the ICP testing locally. I'm not sure how many testing locations there are here in the states but he still runs that for this region as far as I know. He stole multiple hundreds of dollars from me when he shut down his storefront. So, while it's a worthy testing procedure, I'm hesitant to give him another dollar.
Petty, but that's where I'm at and I can admit my own pettiness.
I've used Triton's ICP test before. The kit is about $49 via BRS. Takes about 2 weeks, but it's well worth it when you consider the overall investment you have in that tank.
Once my SPS dominant 200 gallon is fully up and running, I plan on doing the test at least 4x per year.

And I use ATI. But the sample ends up going to germany for testing which adds time to the turn around. The main reason for going ATI is that it also tests your RODI water as well as provide a prepaid shipping label which makes it that much easier to ship out.
