Zwickm Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Wait, what?! How does this thing work? No monitors do all those tests automatically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefbandit Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 That looks pretty cool. I wonder how much it will be. Ill definantly be getting one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev311 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 If I remember correctly it was supposed to be around 500 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bevo5 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Uh. $500 to monitor what exactly? If it does alk and ca and mg Etc. Then I'm in. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbau Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 "up to" 10 tests including alk, ca, and mg. every 20 minutes with results sent to any device. Pretty cool but kind of vague on some details. I am wondering if you have to rebuy the testing disks regularly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 They've been pumping up this product forever. I'll be surprised if it hits the shelves anytime soon. It will certainly revolutionize testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have been waiting for this for over a year (when I first heard about it) it will truly bring a Revolution in reef keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwickm Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Insane! This would be totally revolutionary if it works! Worth every penny.

JManrow Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It looks like the beginning of what is ahead in the hobby! For the first of its kind, it looks very well researched. Soon, things like this will be commonplace. I just subscribed at the website for any future news on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The next step will need to be a system that not only monitors, but also adjusts and maintains parameters, does automatic water changes, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 a hundred years from now we will probably still be scrubbing the glass... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I am in the same boat as most of these people, I was excited when I heard about it many many moons ago, but now I am just waiting for a reality. What was talked about a while back was to connect the Appex to a number of things such as vodka dosing for nitrate\phosphate control and salt\fresh water bins for water changes and top offs all automatic. Automation is not my cup of tea, I have Zero controllers running, but I know most people do not feel the same way. Testing and knowing ones system on the other hand is something I feel is mandatory for long term success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) a hundred years from now we will probably still be scrubbing the glass... That's what robosnail is for haha I've been watching this for a long time. I can't wait for it to come out, I'm definitely ordering it. I don't think controller integration would be really that difficult and then full automation would be achieved! Honestly tho, just having constant Ca, Alk, and Mag readings would easily warrant me spending the cash let alone all the other params it monitors. Exciting times!

JManrow Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Sounds good though. There are electronic meters that test each parameter separately, but would not be cost effective to buy all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySaber Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I do everything manually just because,well #1 I just cant afford a automation system (would rather spend it on a new sump, protein skimmer or cool frag ) and #2 I honestly love tinkering with my tank. It really gives me a reason to pay attention to what is going on. I do feel if I were to go with something like a apex or any other monitor system I might get lazy and ignore my tank. But that is just me. I agree with badxgillen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 One thing I wonder about is the "up to" statement. I am wondering if are are going to be able to pick which parameters we want to monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitrillion Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 That thing would pay for itself! Wouldn't have to buy 50$ test kits anymore! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitrillion Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 And I'm glad they are taking there time on it and not rushing it! Better to take a little bit longer and make sure it works perfectly then to have some bugs with it and it be a waste of 500$! Just my thoughts on that!
