Hey all!
Let me preface by saying that I do not own or even seen in person any of the currently available testing/dosing systems. I have been keeping my eye on all of them to see what everyone thinks and which performs the best so that I know which one I am going to splurge on when the time comes
I am just curious why people have not been talking about the CoralVue Xepta more? I know it is not out yet, so we don’t know the cons, but the pros seem to be pretty great:
-probes instead or reagents to keep the annual costs lower (and I would think probes would be more accurate but I could definitely be wrong)
-has the option to get the integrated AutoBalance system (not sure if other ones have that feature or if you have to program it yourself)
-since it is probe based, I would think it would be completely silent except for the AutoBalance dosing unit
-not 100% sure on this one buttttt - it looks like a standalone unit, which would be beneficial for people, like me, who do not have a controller yet (I would love to get a Trident/Apex or a GHL/Ion Director, but I don’t know if FASFA would be happy with a $1300+ BRS charge - I know it does not work that way )
-they also leaked a nitrate probe in a video which, I think, would be the first of its kind
I am in no way here to create an argument thread or bash on any systems out there (I would personally love to have any of them). Having no hands-on experience with any of these systems, I cannot form judgements besides from what is posted on R2R threads. I would just like to hear people’s opinions about these systems and what makes some more popular than others. Things like brand name, customer service support, reliability, etc.
