I order mine on 7/31 and can't wait for mine to ship! I'm also looking forward to your feedback given your experience with the other products.like 6/25 or 6/26 as soon as I got the email as an original backer (or should I say as an attempted backer)
Mine just shipped! I will have it Mon/Tuesday of next week.
Such great news for the weekend, now to crush the refresh button on the UPS website until it is in my house
I just literally went "oh yeah, that's right it does salinity too"
I can't wait for mine to ship!I received it and was able to step away from work (work at home) to get it on a temp spot on the tank. Setup was quite simple and well documented. It is spitting back results but it probably won't be until this weekend I can really have a moment to document my thoughts/reactions. That being said it measures so many things I keep forgetting it does all of them
me too
Called yesterday. Ordered mine on July 1. Even so, they couldn't give me a shipping date.
'Probably' by the end of the month. Still 'quite a few' before me.
I can wait, obviously, but from comments on this forum, I thought mine would be shipping any day now.
With the positive reviews starting to trickle in, I'm finding it harder to be patient!
It must be longer than that if July 1st orders aren't shipping until next month, that's a minimum of 8 weeks.I was told - its 6 weeks or so from whenever you place your order. Apparently there are a few orders...
Very few things in the hobby are "necessary". However, water quality is one of the necessities of having a successful reef tank. In fact I think most would agree that it is "the" most important factor for success. Therefore consistently testing your water so as to keep it within acceptable peramaters via dosing etc. is a necessity. The Mindstream will be one of the ways to have the testing done for you therefore eliminating the time it takes as well as the expense of test kits. Only you can decide whether or not it is wort it to you.
Right - but the things that are being monitored (IMO) - are interesting. At first I thought only a couple were 'necessary' - fwiw I dont care about ammonia - but - if O2 or CO2 changes - it is helpful - etc etc. Also FWIW - the controller I currently use is so unreliable - that I dont rely on it.... meaning - I use it as a glorified surge suppressor - having sold my modules on ebay several months ago. Seems to me that the controllers that come with for example Echosmart - and Maxspect - are far better than the particular controller I was using - so why waste the money. I am ordering my Mindstream as we speak

Nice!
in the future it will be able to automate the dosing for you.
