Thank you for this video!!! I’ve ran GHL products for about 15 years. I had a B@&$# of a time w this because of the firmware, device recovery and ultimately a power supply that wasn’t pushing enough current to run the pumps. This video helped provide the confidence that in that storm of issues, I knew what I was doing!!! Thank you! I owe you a frag or two!

It does, but about half of the steps are for the doser itself. The notification settings for the containers is great as I receive a text message to fill or empty a container accordingly. It should be noted that their upcoming ION director using the same method for setup and measures 5 different parameters.

I have the GHL Doser and see that the DIrector would be a useful addition. I also have a Calcium Reactor which adds alkalinity. Would you still use the KDH and add for example a cylinder full of BRS soda ash to tweak the alkalinity?

Can you explain how it would control a calcium reactor? I followed your last build and you said you would never go again without a calcium reactor.

@eatsleepreef9565 4 жыл бұрын

It has it in the menu to have it work along side it. So it would shut on or off the solenoid to the reactor. Sadly in this setup as you can see in the video there is ZERO room for anything. Having a baby there is no way I can risk having things out of the stand.

When u measure the length on the sample tube. Is it the tube from tank + the pumped peace of tube + the 16cm of tube from pump to kh ?

@lilalinux1596 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, plus the volume of the optional inline water filter, but the software already takes care of this and prompts wether it should add that filter volume or not.

Manual testing gets old very quick. The plans for this tank is almost all SPS. That being said being able to track and maintain a steady alk will be key. Having this system always Monitor the tank scene when I am a away to be able to make adjustments when I am Not home is priceless for me. I will easily have over $15,000 in corals so this is almost an insurance policy 🤣

This is not a replacement from Kalk. This is a alkalinity tester than actually can work with a calcium reactor and a kalk reactor. This units job is to measure and record alkalinity. If needed it can make adjustments to alkalinity by means of doser,kalk Reactor or calcium reactor.
