Just saw this in reef builders. Curious if anyone here has or has used one. Seems pretty pricey though.

The above discussion is worth reading through to be sure you understand what it can and cannot test.

It has not typically been very useful in marine systems, but they claim to be making changes to allow it too be. Whether that is actually true or not hasn't been independently verified as far as I know.

Cool. Sorry didn't see the other thread. I don't normally like buying stuff when it first come out anyways.

Nor I. These guys have been around for a while it seems, but they're new in our space.

It's bad enough that is $180 and $15-20 for the test strips. But the fact that you also have to pay $4.99 per test to unlock it in the app is just silly. Gouging you for every cent.

Eh, I look at it as a system that is customizable to my needs. I add the tests I want and pay for them. I don't pay for the tests I don't want.

Yeah that's very true I guess. Just seems like you should just be able to order the extra kits that you need though.

The precision of their alkalinity demo at MACNA was quite poor. In PPM, the range of readings the same morning for the same water was from about 135 to about 155, which is the same as reading everywhere from 7.6 to 8.7 dKh.
