Saw them finally for sale and I'm considering... Anyone have a FishBit?

I don't know I've been watching them for a while and when they were in Beta
$900.00 for something similar to seneye? Yes it's better but I don't know

Hmmm....I don't know, but that does not scream buy me for some reason.

Maybe its just me, maybe some more info and some more live shots of it or something.

For that amount though, I think we may be better off staying with an Apex setup.

They aren't out yet you can only pre order.

90gallonreefer · Sep 18, 2017

If you pre order it when do you get it?

Mrx7899 · Sep 18, 2017

Do know I was one of their Kickstarter backers and haven't heard anything from them since March. Don't know if it will ever come out.

Could be one of those kick starter things that just never pan out. I waited for a long time for that little mini drone that would follow me when I mountain biked. The ones that they did deliver did not hold up to the promises. Actually, it wasn't even close.

I'm not sure I'd say "better" or "worse..." just different. Seneye isn't a controller, but it also has a PAR/PUR meter... FishBit has control capabilities, but no PAR/PUR meter (at least from what I saw).

Really hoping that this pans out. I'd love for Neptune to have some good healthy competition.

I hadn't! Looking that up now. I didn't know about any besides Neptune, Seneye, Reefkeeper and Reefberry Pi.

It's a chance you take with a Kickstarter but fishbit had working beta units out there so hopefully they will come through
