I NEED INFORMATION ON TESTING FOR THE AMOUNT OF ACID IN MY TANK. I WAS TOLD WET LAB TESTING. WHAT IS WET LAB TESTING AND HOW DOES IT WORK? AND WERE CAN I FIND THE TOOL TO MAKE THIS TEST? ALSO HOW DO I CHECK FOR THE AMOUNT ALUMINUM IN MY TANK (CONTAMINANT) AND HOW IS THIS CONTROLLED. WE CAN'T GET ARE DIMENSION'S TO REPEAT . ANY INFORMATION ON HARDCOAT ANODIZING ALUMINUM WILL HELP ALOT

Wet lab testing is chemistry. You take a volume of your solution and titrate it with reagents. Which acid are you using for anodizing? sulfuric, chromic, proprietary? You get the materials and chemicals for wet chemical testing from a laboratory supply house like Fisher or Cole Parmer.
