KH Guardian or Trident ?

[bozo]

I really cant decide between the two

If I went with Trident, I'd buy a 2016 Apex EL just to use with the Trident. I'm currently running the Apex classic perfectly fine.

I found an 2016 EL head for under $90 and I found a Trident for $280. $370

Whats turning me off from the Trident is that I have to use their reagent or use ABC reagents.

Then comes in the KH Guardian (KHG). I found a unit for $300.

It only tests for ALK, which is obviously the most important of the three.

I'm able to connect the KHG to my Apex classic through their AIM module and view the tank DKH on Fusion.

I can also make my own reagent for it.

I dont know if I need to test Calcium and Magnesium that often. Im thinking I could test those with Salifert weekly or biweekly.

1st world problems lol.

Thanks!

I can’t speak on the guardian but I use trident and it gets the job done… like you said I use the abc reagents which I think are fairly priced.. I think it cost me $10 a month for reagent which is fair considering what it does.. my trident has been pretty accurate as I double check it on the weekends with a Hannah or salifert if I’m feeling frisky haha!
