So much incorrect conjecture in this post. I don't know where people get their information.
First, auto-corrected dosing has not yet been given to NSI so that first statement is 100% nonsense as no one outside NS even has seen it.
Second, we have stated all along it will be less than $600 when in releases - since day 1.
Third, we have the Trident out with a good sized group of reef-keeping experts right now.
Lastly, any comparison to the Alkatronic that is fair will include the features (what does it test other than Alk), price, ease of use, size, noise level, etc. I fully expect fair comparisons will be made by someone once the Trident is out. It will not be much longer...
For those genuinely interested in this product, please hang in there and continue to have patience - we are all here working so hard to bring you a great product.
$599 huh?
