I bought a Seneye reef mainly for the par meter a year ago. I got one slide with it, used it, and didn't really get the point so did not buy another. Now I am wondering whether I missed something. Hence this post. Do any of you actually use it for continuous monitoring? And if so, how do you use it?
One use scenario that comes to mind is monitoring ammonia while the tank is cycling. Unfortunately, without nitrite and nitrate tests, it only seems partially useful (and maybe not worth the expense of the slides). Temperature monitoring seems interesting. But once again, without the option to actually control or turn off the heater, it only goes partway. I do not know whether the PH monitoring has any value.
In any case, if you are using it for monitoring any parameters (and buying the sensor cartridges), please chime in - I would love to get some ideas as to how I can get more out of this device, beyond its use as a par meter.
