CrazyInside Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Anyone here about his actually coming to apex? Or did it just die off? Haven't seen anything posted about it since probably november. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/10/28/automatic-alkalinity-monitoring-and-control-coming-to-apex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 They bought the technology so I'm assuming it's just going to take some time to make it actually feasible for a mass group of people. Right now those monitors are so complicated and expensive that it's not really feasible for 95% of hobbyists. My guess is they're shrinking and simplifying the entire process so more people can and will buy it. But it's a race - there are a few other options out there already. Of course those are like $1500 so who knows. Pretty big game changer though. Once you can 'set it and forget it' with KH it's going to be a ton easier for folks like me to keep things steady.

CrazyInside Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yeah this would be amazing, especially for sps tanks. Do you know the names of the 1500 options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think this is it. There was a thread on R2R with a poll on who would spend that much.....and there are a lot of people who would I guess. http://reef2reef.com/threads/become-one-of-the-first-owners-of-the-kh-guardian.278622/#post-3376856 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmas_one Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Wouldn't a properly set up CaRx pretty much negate the need for alk monitoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance164 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Wouldn't a properly set up CaRx pretty much negate the need for alk monitoring? I would think you would still want to monitor it just in case the co2 reactor malfunctioned. Especially if your were out of town. Also alot of smaller system I believe most under 75 gallons they say it's a cheaper route to dose.

Bevo5 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It's the same as hooking your heater up to the apex. Another level of security and the ability to get alarms etc. is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
