Interesting monitor to compete with the others on the market. Quite pricey but you get 10 parameters tested every 15 minutes.

I noticed it says it tests carbonate alkalinity vs total alkalinity. It will be interesting to see feedback as it starts being put to use. Love the competition. I got a trident over a  week ago. Haven’t installed it yet because I have been so busy but I hope to this week sometime

Ya I noticed that. Would that bring potential problems?

You’ll have to give us a full report once you’ve had a chance to hook your Trident up!

about 3 years ago i tried to be a beta tester for them, but wow i find it quite expensive and being a subscription for the testing pads, seems like a day late in the industry!

With it being in the ballpark of the trident, plus you don’t have to calibrate it and you get 6 more tests every 15 minutes....I think the price is comparable. But, that $35/month is ridiculous! It appears that that is the “low” end of the potential monthly charge....wow

let's be honest ALK is the only thing needing to be measured hourly (and i only think that because of the alkatronic i have), PO4, no3, ca, MG and whatever else only needs measured weekly or at most every few days.

$35 a month to measure these way too often is just throwing away $ and it looks like an eye sore in the tank!
