No need for just the KH director, that requires 3 heads and the 4th one can maintain alkalinity. The extra doser is for my calcium magnesium and traces. I went with GHL as I was looking to upgrade from my jebao doser as well as get some automated testing in place. What really sealed the deal is the release of the Ion director in March which will test so many things the trident will not.
See there in lies the one issue I do have with GHL. For the life of me I can’t make connections outside of the house 100% of the time. Inside on the hotspot of the doser it connects very well. I haven’t really tried to troubleshoot it and I’m sure with effort I can make it’s connections better and more reliable but until I figure out that part I’ll be keeping my apex doing what it does since in a pinch I’ve had to open apex and shut stuff off and there’s no delay where I’m terrified that in the moment the GHL won’t connect.
Thats kinda not good thst you can't connect remotely lets sat if your 2 weeks away in hawaii
You can just I’ve found it to be very temperamental. Sometimes it takes 10 mins to connect after multiple attempts. This could be the way I have it setup but haven’t bothered to try to make the connection better.
You can do either one. The local connect is super stable and I haven’t had issues.
Max basically summed it up. The local connection is rock solid and fast but once your away and need to connect remotely through the cloud things get wonky. I feel it’s a common problem with companies who make impressive hardware that the software is lacking in the same build quality. Or at least they look at if from a different perspective idk
Perhaps the P4 has a better connection than the SA doser. I had the cloud working within 3-4 attempts but last week I couldn’t get in at all for a couple days, then it started working again.
Would you say ghl is more cost effective monthly for testing?
Can’t really say at this point as I need to see how long reagent lasts me.
The reef plus is aminos and some other stuff I suppose the reef trace does not have in it, definitely has that amino color to it like the others. I have them both on weekly dosing amounts divided up into 3 days and then alternate days they go in and this seems to be doing well though I can’t test for any of it besides just overall coral health.
looks like a nice tank
Need help moving it?
I think I got it covered as it’s not super massive and I think 2 people can muster it but I do have 2 friend and my fiancé to help me out on Monday. Big thank you for the offer though!
