BRStv investigates idea... auto controllers and doser

[Colin_S]

Hello BRS

Yet another idea for an investigate series.. As you know automation is getting more and more with lots of options out there. I think it would be a really interesting series if you could investigate the quality and accuracy of lots of them
compare them to a ICP test and see how close they come to it. What caught my mind is this.

Xepta aBex | XEPTA Innovation in Reef Care

Xepta aBex is an expansion module of the Xepta autoBalance automatic measurement system that incorporates in this equipment the ability to measure calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrate and sodium automatically. It is not a standalone equipment, it requires the Xepta autoBalance unit for its...

It claims to:

• he machine has an accuracy of ± 10ppm in the calcium, potassium and magnesium values with a repeatability of ± 2%, for the 4% magnesium sensor. For the sodium sensor the precision is ± 100ppm with a repeatability of ± 1% and for the nitrate the precision is ± 2ppm.
• Does not require reagents.
• It only requires 30ml of aquarium water to analyze all the parameters at once, but then it returns to the aquarium.
• No residues of any kind are produced, as no reagents are used, both the calibration solution and the water used in the analysis are returned to the aquarium.

I havn't researched to much into it yet.. but thought straight away of you guys!

We'll usually do a separate internal review of a product before we decide to carry it. Generally speaking, we don't do videos on products we don't carry. So while I'll never say never, this video may be a ways off into the future.

I will say that if all of the claims are true, that would be an exciting product to test
