Yeah ok, I was hoping the schedule could be updated to allow once a week dosing. If it needs to run every day at a minimum, that will be a real shame

@@ParkersReef helps sell more reagents

It’s been super impressive!!

how many things does it measure? what does this measure?

Mine is set to measure Phosphate, It can only measure one thing per machine, so its po4, no3, ca or mag@@zsoltir3012

@@zsoltir3012 did you check the video? It is all covered there

You’re too kind, thank you :)

Sensational mate, glad to hear!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching!

Nice pickup!!! You'll love it for phosphate testing, it is ridiculously accurate for that parameter

yeah it's quite a tidy little package!

Thanks mate, appreciate it! Yes, I need to get to the Kamoer kh review, I just need to get the unit updated to the current spec so it works as intended :)

Woo hoo!!

I actually am surprised it is cheaper than the alkalinity tester and it has the ability to do four different parameters! It is certainly not the device for every reefer out there, but it will suit a lot really well

@@ParkersReef we’ll agree to disagree 😊. At this price point it makes no sense vs the other alternatives in the market such as the Mastertronic. It makes no sense to test just one parameter for a month and than switch to the next staying in the dark on the remaining 3 for that period of time. And having 4 units to avoid reagent swapping is not only 2x more expensive sobe than a MT it also uses 3 more power plugs, 3 more waste containers, sample lines, etc. the only use case for these would be to have two units (one testing NO3 and the other PO4) combined with a Trident. This would be similar in cost to having a Mastertronic and an Alkatronic.

Fair enough 👍🏻

Fair enough too! I think this will gain popularity over time. Many thought the same about automated alkalinity testers when they first came out and now they’re quite commonplace. Add to the fact it can switch from one focus to another, I think it has a spot

@@ParkersReef I do run an all monitor but from my perspective these things cost almost as much as one of them from a premium brand and the parameters they test aren’t as prone to fluctuations nor as important as alk. That’s simply why I think they will struggle to funds wide appeal with that price point….and that’s coming from someone who has very little issue with spending money on the tank 😂😜

Hahaha I feel you! Ultimately, I have no idea if these will be popular or not. I can say I was skeptical when I heard about it, but have been won over since testing it 👌🏻

Trident is the solution for you then 👍🏻

Many thanks!

In the world of marine, there isn’t really such thing as a “cheap” automated tester for parameters. Ph will not give you an indication of Kh either

Personally I’d think once a day would be ample, but I’m not sure what the maximum gap you can do yet is

@@ParkersReef Thanks, is there a certain time of day that is best to test for phos and alk?

@shadyrarosreef anytime is fine, consistent times to compare with is best though

With this tester? It’s only been a few weeks, but I haven’t noticed that yet

I actually ran into a problem with my unit, was my fault, I had it below the water line and it actually flooded and damaged the electronics :/ That being said, I don’t believe the schedule situation has changed yet

Glad to hear it’s working well for you now :)

Was great meeting you too! All KH automation testers are ph based as it is a very accurate way (and affordable reagent) to measure Kh in saltwater. That’s why they came first, now other parameters are becoming affordable and accurate which is super exciting

The Trident uses colorimeter based KH testing just like the Hanna checkers. I tend to find the pH ones more accurate, depending on the quality(cost) of the ph probe

In fact there are many other ways to measure KH by titration. I try to test my own device similar to KH keeper that do not use pH probe. It is much faster and use less reagent

Hi, yeah that’s correct. I have no doubt there is white spot in my tank, but it never shows. I run a large UV and only chose fish that are not highly susceptible to white spot (no Achilles, powder tangs, etc)

That’s a good point, the manual is a little confusing there isn’t it? I did use the filter and my results were spot on

Glad somebody asked this.

I’m still running the filter and have tested my phosphates high and low - unit is still spot on 👍🏻

Without the filter holder, the tube would just flop around. So that is a defo need. I've removed the filter element from inside itself, as I'm worried "albeit only a small amount" but some benficial bacteria will grow on the filter and may affect the intake water parameter for the P04.

you can secure the hose if need be

Return pump is Abyzz, flow pumps are MP60, tunze and one Nero 7

Which of their products would you like to see covered? I'll do what I can!

@@ParkersReef The smart devices like: doser, reef wave, roller filter. specially they all can be controlled though one app, I would like to know what do you think about it. I love the salt and reef care products but I have no idea about their hardware stuff, thank you :)

My phosphate is around 0.3ppm 😅

@@ParkersReef Lol, i misheard a decimal.

I showed the values on screen from each test kit 😅

Очень признателен, я обязательно сделаю продолжение в ближайшие месяцы, чтобы сообщить о том, как он все еще работает.

Great suggestion! I’m sure the scheduling feature will update soon :)

Great question, I think late this year

You wouldn’t switch reagents just to test a different parameter and then switch back, you’d only switch parameters when you want to move monitoring to that parameter

Fair enough 👍🏻

Yeah I think around November or even early December is the plan

@ParkersReef cheers mate. Keep up the good work.

@chriswhite4831 appreciate it!

Come around before you know it!

@@ParkersReef almost there!! 🍻👌😉😂

@JakeDogg-RIP plenty to come before and after this one too ;)

@@ParkersReef with Juno??? 😁🥰

@@ParkersReef my lfs gets some stuff from her, I know for sure they get scolly frags, Im sure other stuff also 🥰

It could draw water from the display instead

@@ParkersReef I don't want those horrible white brackets on view though

you can use whatever brackets you like really. They are just what is provided.

I've just got mine back up and running after a mistake I made which flooded it. It's a great bit of kit for phosphate measurements

Exciting times! I think it’s a fantastic little unit

For phosphate, yes

Even if this costs less than the KH keeper? But I don’t disagree with you, I don’t think the intended purpose is to buy 3 or 4 of them, just the one. Otherwise things get very expensive!

@@ParkersReef the kh keeper does 2 tests . PH and kh so that’s a bonus. It was also expensive but the integration with the pumps and auto dosing to maintain constant kh works a treat , also it’s not off the price compared to the competition . I don’t see swapping around reagents , rinsing and all that every time I want to change test to be particularly practical . I buy kit to make it easier or faster for me . This is easier for one thing , if you want to check multiple it no longer is . Po4 an nitrates often go together, likewise if one wants mg and ca . I like the construction of the tester and how it works , I did get to play around with it a bit .compared to other solutions tho I feel like they price themselves out on this one unless you are really just after the one value . Guess I’ll be looking into the robo carousel thing you featured before . I waited to see the price on this one before deciding

compares much more repeatably than hanna in my experience. In the video I compare it to a re-branded hanna from Martini.

What about it?

Works a treat 👌🏻

Yeah that’s fair

I’ve had no issues setting up any of the reef factory gear, actually found the setup process super smooth. Most “smart” devices like this get caught up on band steering on your home network (which is where your router will emit a SSID with the same name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks and switch between the two automatically) That causes endless issues with smart home equipment. If you can separate the SSID for each band you will have a much better experience

@@ParkersReef I didn’t have an issue with my first attempt either Unfortunately when doing a factory reset using the magnet , I haven’t been able to get it to work since then

@Merknilash hopefully the support team can assist

I disabled the banding feature you mentioned and I'll see if that resolves it - not sure how I got everything set up the first time.@@ParkersReef

@Merknilash it can be a matter of luck if the band doesn’t steer to 5ghz when setting up. But if you force them to be separate, it’s much easier to manage

Totally fair enough!

Gotta schedule them early, big weekend of videos planned!!

And that’s fair enough too!

Mainly because it does the test at a time when you cannot. Like at night, or when you’re at work, or on holidays. It’s not for everyone I agree, but I think there are plenty out there who will really enjoy this device

Yeah I am hopeful that the schedule can be updated as that is a major drawback in my opinion. Fair enough, I was open with my review and open with how the product got to me. Not selling at all, I even gave three things I didn’t like about the device and mentioned multiple times I cannot tell if it suits you and your reef tank or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

They have a KH tester already

Yes, Hanna used a single reagent rather than two

For sure, to each their own!
