Seems pricey compared to other controllers

I have changed my testing schedule -so that it only does alk 2x a day and ca/mg 1x a day. So I calibrate every two months. If you order directly from them it’s fairly cheap. But you should calibrate against the solution as the optical curvette gets dirty over time so the solution helps...

Article I came across - how accurate it is? No clue- https://reefbuilders.com/2025/11/02/the-end-of-an-era-live-aquaria/

I think this is the best place to post!

Thank you for the detailed explanation on caring for them. Hope someone has the capacity to raise them!

Concur.

Nice!

Wow. Never bought anything from them but they were useful in terms of looking up stats on fish.

Def made my day!

Why do you not like the hydrometer? Love that thing. It’s relatively inexpensive and no calibration needed (as long as you test at proper water temp).

Something to consider for sure.

Some more testing by a simple "Open the window" test -Even with the cabinet sealed with an open window -it increases the PH by nearly .08 from average 7.95 to 8.03. So the issue is the room CO2 content not the cabinet. One thing I did was also run a hose from skimmer to same open window. PH...

Welcome back! What are you checking? For alk/ca/mg I use the Neptune trident If not auto testing -then hanna works for alk, as well as sailfert. For CA I find Hanna too complicate and use sailfert. For P and N I use Hanna

Perhaps

That would be sweet. I am not sure why they don’t have any.

I kill the circulation pumps for 5 min but the return pump stays on as it helps move food gently around

If there is a lot of leftovers after a minute for reef nutrition and 2 min for pellets - -the ROE is gone in thirty seconds-like watching fish play pac-man on crack

Hi - and welcome - For myself I use the avast plank & use a combo of pellets -tdo, Pisces mysis pellets, and nyos algae -one of them is a phosphate bomb for sure! I feed that once a day. I also DIY’ed -making a mini fridge into dosing refrigerated liquids - so I dose reef nutrition’s artic...

Appreciate that- see where it is if there is one - might be more expedient to get from you if it’s in SB..

Is there a bar card floating around for a co2 monitor? Or rather does the club have one? Thanks
