Introduction to REEFLABS' P3 test report
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the potentially harmful organisms detected in your aquarium sample, including pests, parasites, pathogens and toxic algae. Using advanced DNA sequencing technology, the test identifies species at a molecular level, offering insights beyond what traditional observation methods can detect. Our goal is to help you take proactive steps to maintain a healthy and thriving aquatic environment.
In the following sections, you'll find:
- Sample overview: summary of the diversity of your sample.
- Aquarium Threats: breakdown of harmful organisms found, if any, across pathogens, parasites, pests, and toxic algae.
- Community Composition (eDNA): the wider organism community detected in your sample, beyond the targeted pest panel.
Sample overview
| Sample Summary | |
|---|---|
| Number of DNA strands sequenced | 49,564 |
| Diversity (Total species detected) | 317 |
| Threats detected | 11 |
Aquarium Threats
Detected organisms are shown directly below each category; sections with no detections are collapsed behind "See full screening table".
Pathogens
Pathogens are microorganisms that cause diseases in animals and other organisms. In aquariums, they can lead to infections, weakened immune systems, and outbreaks that threaten the health of fish, corals, and other inhabitants. Identifying and managing pathogens early is essential to maintaining a healthy and thriving tank.

Harmful Algae Alert
Microalgae are a natural part of reef ecosystems, but certain species can become harmful in aquariums, releasing toxins that pose a risk to fish, corals, and invertebrates. These outbreaks are often triggered by excess nutrients, poor water flow, or imbalanced tank conditions.
This test detects the presence of known toxin-producing microalgae species. Their presence alone does not necessarily indicate immediate harm, but it confirms that these species exist in your aquarium. If they proliferate to significant levels, they could pose risks to reef inhabitants, pets, or even humans. This test serves as an early warning, allowing you to take proactive measures to maintain a healthy and stable aquarium environment.

These species are known to cause harmful algae blooms (HAB). The Toxic Algae Alert indicates whether toxin-producing harmful algae are present in your aquarium. These species could pose a risk to inhabitants if present in high numbers (an algae bloom). A positive result does not indicate an immediate danger to your aquarium's inhabitants or to yourself.

This report is designed to help you make informed decisions about your aquarium's health. Results are based on advanced DNA sequencing and are intended to give a comprehensive understanding of the current eukaryote status in your aquarium. While the information is accurate and scientifically backed, it is not a substitute for advice from an aquatic specialist or aquatic veterinarian.
Relative abundance is not biomass. All abundance values in this report are the fraction of sequencing reads assigned to a given reference, not a direct measure of organism biomass or cell count. ITS gene copy number can vary across taxa, so two organisms present in equal biomass can yield different read fractions.
