ION Director: What OTHER values would you like to measure?

[siggy]

Mg, Ca.
kh, k, Sr.
or
NO3, k, Sr.

Welcome to the club @periquin! hey why not post in the greetings forum and say Hi

GHL some one mentioned Iron and for those running a fuge would be helpful. Now Im thinking why not have a user configurable system that a user can download the firmware and chose the 3 elements to fit their system

GHL, alguien mencionó a Iron y para aquellos que manejan una fuga sería útil. Ahora estoy pensando, ¿por qué no tener un sistema configurable por el usuario que un usuario puede descargar el firmware y elegir los 3 elementos para adaptarse a su sistema [/ QUOTE]

Sería muy bueno poder elegir los parámetros que desea medir. Estoy de acuerdo.

I have a 2.1 and been debating getting a Profilux for some time, if this unit comes out, oh maaannnnnnnn it’s game on!

 

[road_runner]

This is worth the wait...

Dream combo is Alkalinity, Nitrate, Phosphate.

Dream combo is Alkalinity, Nitrate, Phosphate.

That's the trifecta , I would be happy with Alk/phos.

 

[road_runner]

Agreed. Kh,po4 and no3 that's the true trifecta. If there is K+ that would be bonus
CA, MAG, f, I..etc all need to be tested much much less frequent when you have kh po4 and no3 stable.

 

[smartwater101]

Alkalinity>Phosphate>>Nitrate>>>>>>Calcium>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Magnesium


In one box.

And add a BNC connection (or similar?) for linking with other controllers

 

[JDowns]

I would highly agree with others. Nitrate, Phosphate, and Alk as a bonus. Otherwise CA/MG are fairly useless to me and just a wasted expense. Throw that trifecta and a package deal on a complete setup and I would switch in a nano second. I've run into more issues due to N/P rather than Alk related.

 

[Dukeap]

Yes, nitrate and Phosphate for sure and iodine. Let me know if you need help for testing. My tank is all yours.

 

[Reefahholic]

Definitely NO3 and PO4. Hands down.

 

[Lasse]

The ION Director takes one sample and will do testing for all values at the same time, if this was the question. One ION Director, one Doser, for all.

I am not sure that everyone understands how revolutionary this is if you can get a measurement unit that can handle 5 different ions and measure the low levels that we "measure" for some of these ions, such as PO4 and that the price ends up around $ 800 - $ 1000 for the actual measurement unit. I´m impressed

One question - you mention ammonia - does the equipment measure NH4 or NH3 (ammonium or ammoniac)? If it is NH3 - I would prefer NH3 (because it is toxic), NO3 - because it is very difficult to measure and the third would be ---- oxygen. Oxygen is a critical parameter during night in mature aquariums with a lot of coral biomass and IMO a very underestimated danger. If you use the technology that I suspect you do – oxygen is no problem. You have oxygen probes today, but they are very expansive and tricky to use and calibrate. If your ION director is what I suspect – that technology is much more reliable than Clark electrodes – just my 5 cents

Sincerely Lasse

So when is this supposed to come out

 

[road_runner]

So when is this supposed to come out

I think in couple of months or so.

Now im.glad I'm going ghl. I day ghl.comes with auto testing for kh,ca,mg. Anything else is a plus. I wish they had a kh,ca,mg like apex. Not a kh on it's own. But hey. I'm excited to be a mitras buyer with p4 and doser 2.1for this build. Gotta start somewhere!

Ion based testers are the way of future in testing.

 

[Bigboned]

If the ion was to test for KH aswell, wouldn’t that make the director redundant?

 

[Michael Gray]

I wish it was kh. Cause no we have to spend 800+ just for k . Then most likely another 800. For ion when competitor has all 3 that we all look for in 1.

 

[Gonzo74]

I’m fine with redundancy. Just means I have two sets of reference.

That’s the price of technology proliferation.
