@obrien.david.jAre you controlling your Calcium Reactor with Apex based on Trident reading? I am dosing now, but thinking about switching to the reactor.

I got lucky with Marine Depot. I was on BRS list and never got a call. 😞 I will prefer Marine Depot from now on. Looks like they are trying a little harder. 

Happy to join Trident club.  Got mine yesterday, and so far very happy with it. 

I have a brand new, in the box, sump which is sitting in my garage. I paid $360. and I am willing to take $250 OBO. My loss, your gain. Dimensions are 

36 IN. X 16 IN. X 15 IN.

Got a response from MindStream and it is another closed system, plus they want you to finance their operations for 60 days 😞

• Is there are way to access the data directly via API or any other means.
  • The only way to access the data is through the web app.
• Would you have a web hooks available for alerts?
  • All alerts are sent through the web app either to your phone (via text) or your email.
• Do your apps handle nonstandard font sizes? Currently a big disappointment with your competition.
  • We have both content and visual designers who designed the user interface as critically as possible. The web app is designed with all the latest protocols.
• Will my cc be charged when unit ships or when I order?
  • Your credit will be charged at the time of order entry.

I was seriously considering MindStream, but I will keep waiting for Neptune or something else coming to the market.

I would have a hard time trusting Apex to control ALK , CA and magnesium dossing in my tank. There would have to be some serious safety in the place. Every equipment can and will fail.

I spoke to Neptune Systems at ReefPalooza this weekend and it sounded like they are looking at MindStream more like a competition than collaboration partner. We actually discussed MindStream and they are well aware of their journey and product. 

I am afraid this industry is not ready for IoT or any type of standardization, at this time. Everyone company is developing their own apps and systems, and they do not typically expose easy integration points. Look at Red Sea with their new product lineup. All controlled by their own app. 😞

I think, the company which open sources their platform and enables easy integration with products will win the market in the long run. There is no need for every light, pump, dossing or other vendors create their own software and platforms.

Other industries are already in that journey! 

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing!

I am signed up on all waiting lists I am aware of and still no call to purchase one. Actually thinking about going with MindStream, I love Neptune products, but I am not sure I do want to keep playing this waiting game. 

Hello,

I am looking for someone to give me a lesson on taking fish and coral pictures with Canon SL3 and macro lens. Willing to pay or trade a frag for your time. I am in Vancouver, Salmon Creek area.

PM me if interested.

Thank you!

Purchased from the same source in Gresham as others. My tank is directly on the other side of that wall making all lot easier.

Any pictures?

I need to get Avast photo cylinder. I recently purchased Canon SL3 with 18-135 MM lens and slowly learning how to take pictures. Not quite at the macro lens stage but getting there.

Awesome pictures. 

Awesome pictures. What lens are you using?

Thank you!

I would recommend letting the eggs go and setup for the next round. They should lay next clutch in about 9-14 days. Once they start they are usually lay eggs in specific intervals. You will need plenty of live rotifers for the first 6-7 days. Around day 5 you can start adding freshly hatched brine shrimp. You should have 2 rotifer cultures to be safe, as sooner or latter culture will crash on you.

Awesome write up, can't wait to get my hands on one when they become available, again. 😢 Not sure I will be brave enough to control my dosing via Neptune as my experience with DOS was horrible and I am using CoralBox dossers now. But, I never say never.

I rented PAR meter from BRS and I am good. Please, remove me from the list. Thank you!

Awesome event for a great cause! Thank you for putting this up.

My salinity reading was getting lower and lower as well, probe cleaning fixed that. When did you cleaned your probe last time?   Likely, all is OK. 

Please, put me on the list. Handheld or USB is OK.

Thanks

Where do I sign up? I am interested in all of them.

Great, what time would you like to come and how many do you want?
