Trident FAQ

[markstubb]

Not really, the reefatronics reefbot does many tests. $799

Only Alkalinity though

 

[Zaffor]

Indeed reefbot is a whole different approach to similar ends. Was interesting to see it in action at RAP

 

[Sharvey103]

Looking forward to getting ahold of one of these soon.

So it won't work with Apex Classic, but what about Apex Jr.?

is it here yet? lol

No, only the 2016. The jnr has even less processing power than the classic...

 

[pdxmonkeyboy]

Only Alkalinity though

which is really all you need seeing as alk and cal absorbed at same rate. magnesium... who tests magnesium even weekly?

just checked out the reefbot. terrific idea really!! Especially since it takes a robot to sense when to stop titrating the new red sea alk reagent. lol

"the color will turn a pinkish, orangish, kind of red color"... exact words from RS tech support. ummmm.. thanks?

LOL, I actually know exactly what you mean. I take two readings: One when it changes from Blue and one when it changes to Orange lol.

I usually use the change from Blue as the indicator, but always continue just to make sure. This makes the range between 0.2-0.5dkH.

The problem is that the user is going to have to set the thresholds etc. This is re-introducing the human error factor for me. They would be far better to run with specific test solutions and fully calibrate to those, which is what I believe the Neptune system is doing with the optical detection (like a Hanna Tester).

This makes far more sense to me than a pH probe which is arguably more prone to interference, variance and calibration loss.

[Zaffor]

So many of us applied that we broke the system!
