I have been looking into this as well. Would love to have more of my testing automated. Should also probably set up my doser again sometime. But I am out of usable outlets on the wall my reef is on. The big 2 that come to mind are Trident (apex) and Hydros. The new Hydros looks pretty cool but I am wondering how much reagent both of those use and what the break even point would be versus buying the refills for my manual test kits.
Trident reagents last about 2 months if stick to the standard testing schedule which I think is 2 times a day. A 6 month supply is just over $100. So reagent is about $18 a month to test ALK, CALC, and MG..... plus the time you get back from your life which is always in short supply ;) . Obviously that doesn't include the initial cost of the unit itself, but those are the numbers on the reagents.

ABC reagents for the win! I get a 6 month supply for $60 it works great!

I kinda feel like this is similar to buying a phone charger at a gas station :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes::smirking-face: It may work.... but it could ruin the device.

I'm also sketched out about everything, so feel free to roll your eyes at my paranoia and carry on saving money. :face-blowing-a-kiss: :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Right? I only buy sushi at gas stations, never phone chargers. That would just be silly.
