Keep up the great work CoralVue! Former Neptune Apex user & SCMAS member here. Got tired of the poor build quality of the Apex & subsystems & am going Hydros for my 600 gal build - just in time! Build this at a price point where you can deliver a QUALITY product with consistent results. Reefers will complain & moan, but we care most about quality & LONG term cost of ownership - which includes maintaining the safety of our corals & fish health! Thank you for what you do for us!

Sounds like a sensational product, love that it is stand alone, love the isolation of wet side and dry side and absolutely love the second input. Can't wait to hear more!

I'm looking forward to seeing real-world experiences of people with the Maven! It definitely looks like an amazing tester based on your description. I will be considering it for my upcoming 50g build. Keep up the good work!

Sounds good, I get the idea behind the proprietary reagents but your reasoning that if we cannot find a reagent then we cant test is the same issue if we cant find your reagent. At least with ReefBot you can get a different brand (one of dozens) and just change the dropdown to the different brand and you are testing. I am still going to try the Maven but might want to work on some better marketing pitches other than "I may not be able to get a reagent therefore we have to use proprietary reagents".

The ReefBot sucks. I’ve had the ReefBot lab for awhile and I do nothing but fix it. I’m getting this as soon as I can.

@Val_Halla777 3 ай бұрын

@geekdomo Precisely. I’d personally much prefer to pay more upfront for the unit and be able to use different reagents..(rather than the same business model as printers. ) But hopefully someone can still hack the formula and offer cheaper reagents if the do go proprietary.

@geekdomo 3 ай бұрын

@@Val_Halla777 The days of inkjet cartridges are dead. You can get an Epson Eco Tank printer that comes with 8 bottles of ink (2 sets of color). These printers can use ANY ink you want to dump in them. Depending on the ink quality its the same output. Spending $35 on a set of cartridges that last a few hundred prints vs $15 on 4 bottles of ink you put in when it gets low is a no brainer. Consumers are tired of the Gillette model and want choice. I totally understand why they want to lock in a certain quality control to the testing. What would 1000% sell me on this is if they could at least offer alternative reagents or the ability to put in a lot number of the reagent and it would adapt. They are a small company and that would probably be too much effort, however the community could.

Background knowledge of the 'other player's' devices...... Stand-alone operation....... All in one (core 5 elements) testing.... Small form factor...... Ease of use/maintenance..... Hopefully competitively priced and good support..... This checks all the boxes for me and will be used in tandem with my Trident. I can get past the 'proprietary reagents' as all companies can run into supply chain issues as we all should know by now.

@Sammy31Dee 3 ай бұрын

I have a small LFS and I use automation a lot....this hydros stuff is definitely peaking my interest but im so deep into the other ecosystems it feels like a major task to replace ....however I think I'll have to still attempt setting one up on a system to try it all out... I am impressed Carlos.....you been definitely scrubbing forums to learn what ppl want ....cant wait to see how it works.

Really excited about The Maven coming up as part of the Hydros Control System. I'm slowly moving out from other brands of automated testing units. And I know that you guys will deliver something robust and reliable as the others Hydros Units for the collective. I know this was a "bird eye view" of what it's going on "cooking", backstage at Coralvue, so many questions came to mind. But I know that you guys make them yourself as well, during the developing brain storming and testing. Can't wait to hear more information about it, like controlling and adjusting dosing as needed and all the possibilities and precision that we can rely on. Today is a great day to be in this hobby, kudos for everyone at Coralvue 🤘😎🤘🍻🍻🍻🍻💪💪

Beyond excited for this release! This will be the first smart tester I buy. Some questions I have. How long does each test take? Does the length of the dosing tube lines need to be a certain length, ex. most testers require a 6ft line. You said it has one stepper motor that does not need to be calibrated!?!? Thanks! Keep up the good work

I apologize that the podcast did not provide all the necessary details during its initial release. The Kraken will be exhibited at the CoralVue booth in RAP Orlando.

Trident does it with no problem just using tank water. Having an air purge should help even more.

@taylor.w.merritt 3 ай бұрын

@@clintwarren1187 I think “with no problem” is a bit of a leap. The cuvette in the trident gets super dirty with buildup and it seems like people complain about bad test results when recalibration isn’t completed regularly. The cuvette stays at least semi-moist between tests in the trident so it seems like that would lead to a slower build up compared to air drying the liquid out and leaving anything that could build up behind after every test. I suppose we’ll see though. Definitely interested in the maven, but I do have my concerns.

I understand the not in deep information, as this is only a teaser. But the video is just hard to watch! For a product that a lot of reefers are waiting for, you guys wasted the opportunity to make it great! This should have been a super easy video to make as we do want the product, but the format used is just hard to digest; talking about everything and nothing all at ones is just hard. You guys need a new format and/or host...or stick to what you have but keep it in the normal schedule podcast/talks, not a introductory/launch teaser.

@MRey-qe4by 3 ай бұрын

A common issue with Hydros videos. Most of the time it’s just rambling, stalling, etc. Overall, the controller is nice but the format and host just turns a 5min video into an hour. They’re generally all painful and this one is in the running for one of the worst. Horrendous formatting and topic coverage. Something needs to change or many of us will never watch another Hydros video.

I'm sorry to hear that you have been experiencing issues with your X10 alkalinity tests. To resolve this problem, please contact our support team at Support@coralvue.com. It is important to note that the X10 alkalinity test should give results similar to that of a Salifert test. Also, please be aware that ICP testing does not include alkalinity measurement as it is not an element. Therefore, the alkalinity test is performed separately outside of the ICP machine.

You really have no idea on price? That's disingenuous, or else you wouldn't have bothered building something like this.
