+brian.srock Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yea they'd have to lower it to at least $799.99 for me to consider it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Pacific sun enters the mix and at 400 Euros. So we now have Coralvue on the market, GHL and Apex coming.

BornToHula Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Another monitor is hitting the market: https://reefbuilders.com/2017/08/21/alkatronic-is-yet-another-new-khalkalinity-controller/ I like the extra solenoid control this one has for us with calcium reactors. All of these monitors are too expensive for me to be very interested though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I appreciate the technology but I won't do it unless at the price Isaac mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I appreciate the technology but I won't do it unless at the price Isaac mentioned.But my alk hasn't really waivered for the last 3 months so I see less utility in it... More insurance than anything and I'll pay $250 for insurance, not $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I assume there haven't been any price releases? I I assume there haven't been any price releases? I still hold fast to the estimate that it'll cost over $800. I think it serves as a great tool when first starting a tank or when the system is going through a state of transition. Once a tank is tuned and everything is humming along smoothly then it'll only serve as a form of insurance like Ty said. And if you have other fail safes in place for a CaRX then it may be overkill at a price close to a grand. I'm interested to see where this technology leads the hobby though. It would be neat to have it connected to a doser that will add extra Ca and alk in the afternoon when consumption is at its highest and keep levels as stable as possible. Next level reefing then haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I I assume there haven't been any price releases? I still hold fast to the estimate that it'll cost over $800. The Alkatronic will be $700 to $800 according the the article. Also there is the KH Guardian Monitor available for $600. (https://reefbuilders.com/2017/06/26/new-kh-guardian-monitor-tracks-alkalinity-for-half-the-price/). 31 minutes ago, Gig 'em @ NDstructible said: It would be neat to have it connected to a doser that will add extra Ca and alk in the afternoon when consumption is at its highest and keep levels as stable as possible. I believe the KH Guardian does this (for alkalinity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 that color scheme though...lol. compensating (wishful thinking?) much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHula Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Details on Neptune's entry to the market: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/neptune-trident.322205/ Its capable to monitoring Alk, Ca & Mag. The cost looks to be the most reasonable so far, but its still on the "premium" side of things. The bad thing its it says it will require the newest Apex model, which counts me out. I'm hoping the last bit isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 i hope not... the new energybar per outlet monitoring i got... not enough processor power... but this is just readings. if they limit it to just new apex's, its for sheer greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'd be interested to hear if there was an actual technical reading. The outputs of these things should really just be very simple with most of the processing done on the accessory itself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
