What exactly is the ReefBot? Is it an automated tester, or does it just test the big 3? Is it like Trident? Never heard of it.

We are working on different kits, NYOS ELOS and many others.My red Sea Alk is off as well. I gave up on the Red Sea Calcium.
The API Calcium test is as good as it can be.
@drernesto we need a reliable calcium test!! I'd love to see you guys experiment with the Trident calcium reagent.
I also think the Hannah alkalinity reagent and NYOS alkalinity would be a huge win for the reefbot.
Tropic Marin Nitrate and Red Sea Phosphate and Red Sea Mag have been right on the money.
In my experience, the testing kits that use 2 liquid reagents have yielded the most consistent and reliable results with the reefbot.

We will keep you posted.

Take water to a LFS and ask them to test it?I've had my Reefbot setup for about a week now. Overall I like it. The Tropic Marin Nitrate, Red Sea Mg, and API Calcium seem to be working reliably. BUT, I cannot get my Red Sea Phosphate kit to return anything but 0.00, despite the Hanna Phosphorous test showing between 15-22 which is .046 - .067, so 0.00 seems pretty far off. Anyone else having an issue with the Phosphate test and if so, suggestions? The Reefbot team suggested I compare to the same Red Sea test manually, but unfortunately I only have the Refill kit which doesn't include the pieces needed for a manual test (and dont really want to buy it just to compare!). Thoughts?
Hello, as I can see from your results, the device is well calibrated. Ultimately it’s better to compare the same brand and batch of reagents to itself. If there’s no way to do so, I believe that the phosphate reagents might be contaminated.I've had my Reefbot setup for about a week now. Overall I like it.

I was initially happy with my ReefBot but now I am concerned with my unit and Reef Kinetics support. My testing chamber keeps overflowing and the solution they have on their knowledge base did not fix the issue. I wanted to recalibrate but I get the warning that I should contact their Support before recalibrating. I put in a ticket and eventually got a response stating they will get back to me on a solution. It's been 5 days and after a second email sent to them I haven't gotten a response.
Thank you for the responses. I do have my unit at the same level as my sump and lower than the display tank. I will recalibrate. The message stating that my ReefBot is already calibrated and then asking if Support approved recalibrating stop me from continuing.
