Would love to hear thoughts on this product before I out lay. Hear in perth wa I have not see one on shelfs? So wondering how people in Aus are finding the product?

Very good tool overall. Many good reviews.

Google seneye par shootout reef2reef. Big thread with a lot of data and pro tips.

Great cheap par meter. Middling and not overly accurate (and expensive to maintain) PH and Free Ammonia reader.

NY_Caveman · Nov 16, 2017

On sale at BRS right now for $139. Can anyone confirm, the light meters will continue to work after the soaked insert slide expires? I know the slide is just for pH and ammonia part, but I assume the light meters still work normal.

Yes, the light meter and temp work without the slide. Sold mine and wish I would have kept it now that I have new lights.

Awesome. Just picked one up. Great price even for just a PAR meter alone. I am not expecting Apogee accuracy, but should be good enough for me setting up a new aquarium with LEDs. And I have a cheap LUX meter to test it against. Currently use the LUX meter mostly (on freshwater aquariums) to check light degradation more than checking for exact levels.

The lux meter on the seney does work differently than a hand held one. So don't get weirded out.

Does anyone know if there's a way to use it as a par meter connected to a cell phone or tablet via a USB to micro-usb cable

If you are a new to the hobby and making a serious start then in my opinion it is a must have . It is a monitor yes but it wont break your bank jumping to a controller . Its something to be seen as an early warning of possible problems you may be developing . You can do a few tricks to get a little bit for control for first defense , but you dont want to treat it as a precision meter to automate dosing and stuff that deals with live stock . Though I feel that day is not far off .
Some value add i did are posted here

There was a similar thread on the Seneye Support forum , unfortunately the app that measures instantly is windows based , the snapshots are seen on andrioid ios phones and tablets . Given that I dont think its going to work on the Phone or Tablet directly for instant par measurements
