So far what I’m getting at the very least is an isolated chamber for pH and salinity readings but with the X10, it will allow alkalinity testing. I can’t wait for the stream of tomorrow’s MACNA workshop on the reefs.com YouTube channel.

An alkalinity tester would be great.

If even half of the rumors are true I definitely see myself buying an X10 and a Kraken. All in one control + salinity/alkalinity testing…and a brick to power all devices + battery backup. Love it!

Prices from the reefs stream yesterday:
Kraken $599 (battery not included)
X10 $799
IV $129

X10 was stated to be available in 2023

I am interested to see if the Alk testing is in collaboration with Focustronic since CV is their distributor. If it is an independent development I wonder about the state of that relationship.

Been a few months. Any update on release dates?

They do not normally say anything until just before the release date. I would like to get a hold of a XD to try it out. I already have 9 controllers in a collective.

I just reach out to them on a release date and their response was before the end of this year if all continues to go well.

I got one the XD controllers already. Sometime in 2023 was the original answer for the release so nothing has changed. So my guess is there have not been any major hiccups yet.

 

[rmcrom]

Thanks for the update. I was just wondering about Kraken status this morning. I want to get the Kraken and X10 and make a control board to clean up my system.
