Curious about the latest ReefBot. Maybe start a thread with your thoughts/impression?I went ahead and ordered the ReefBot Lab today.
I gave up. The delay's (apparently still an issue), consumables cost, etc.
Will spend my GHL money on other items, but I think I am out for good on the ION-D
Good luck to the rest of you. I assume once you get your gear it will work better than the prior iteration.
Do you know what you just did? HahaCurious about the latest ReefBot. Maybe start a thread with your thoughts/impression?
Unicorn still. I also placed an order on June 17, 2023 for some chemicals and fittings and was told it was on a two week backorder. Still waiting... Its sad honestly.Have anyone recived the new probe? Or is this still a unicorn.
Uh, I don’t think I did. Did I unleash something?Do you know what you just did? Haha
But between the delays, cost, and lack of PO4 measuring, the cost/benefit doesn't fit for me personally.
Don’t believe it doesIt doesn't measure phosphate? For some reason I thought it did. Interesting.
P04 was an earlier promise which was redacted right away after the realization that they couldn't get accurate, consistent results at such a low range.
If that's all you want, then the reefbot and focustronics mastertronic does that.I don't know what I'm missing, but a Hanna ULR tester is just 10ml of tank water and a packet of powder reagent. I, and I suspect many others, would pay a decent amount of money to have that simple process automated.
I do, however, believe in efficient markets, and if it could have been done effectively and efficiently in a profitable manner, I would imagine it would be available already.
The curios side of me is interested if anyone knows why it hasn't.
Good points. I do think the IOND allows the waste to dump back to the tank, but not 100% positive on that.If that's all you want, then the reefbot and focustronics mastertronic does that.
I, for one don't want a bot that simply automates what the hanna checkers do. Plus (and I don't know if the iond does this) I don't want a waste reservoir that collects spent test chemicals that needs to be frequently emptied. I think the goal is to have what ever is used for the test to be dumped into the tank and not harm anything.
I don't believe that either of these machines are compatible with Hanna PO4 tests?If that's all you want, then the reefbot and focustronics mastertronic does that.
I was speaking generally about taking a manual test kit and automating it with vials, syringes, actuators and motors. Using colorometers for test results.I don't believe that either of these machines are compatible with Hanna PO4 tests?
As far as I know the ReefBot does phosphate (PO4)Thank you. I wasn't aware they dropped it but makes sense.
Reefbot and IOND are 2 totally different methods of testing. ION prob vs colormetric testing.
