Reefbot arrived!!!!!! Initial thoughts

[drernesto]

I don’t use it anymore . The replacement unit I got also has problems. I ordered a Trident

did you contact the support? they didn't solve it?

These setup options are super disappointing.

you need to have the tank and RODI + or - 70cm from the level of your bot and maximum 2 meters away.

I’m not sure why you would want to pay that amount of money to still have in accurate testing kits. It doesn’t matter how well the machine works it’s still using reagents that have a large room for in accuracy. The trident has much better accuracy. I’m all for innovation in our hobby but it Hass to make sense. $800 for machine to test what you can test makes no sense

I have two ReefBots and have been very satisfied with both. If the Trident is similar to GHL's KHD Director then I will take the ReefBot over the Trident. The GHL KHD Director I had before the ReefBot was not reliable enough.

Ive had my reefbot since last summer. Well, I’ve had a reefbot since last summer. I’m on my third one due to hardware issues. The company had been very good to me in regards to support and warranty replacement. I am happy with its performance. I have a buddy who doesnt share my experience and sold his replacement upon arrival.

I have test kits for alk, calc, phosphates, and nitrates. Until I moved from from 2 part to an ACR calcium reactor it’s been great. I moved from daily alk testing to 4 hour testing to monitor the change. I’m glad I did because alk was was all over the place at first. My complaint was replacing reagents every couple days, it was getting old. I picked up a trident for alk. I’ll continue to use my RB for phosphates and nitrates.

I'm not to familiar with the GHL director but I do know the Trident is deadly accurate and able to do 3 part controlled dosing send you emails and texts for the alarms you choose to program. it also tests up to 12 times a day or something like that and the reagents last 3 months not weeks. I think the reefbot is a neat idea but just over priced for a machine that can't dose and its only as accurate as the test kits you use with it. this is just my personal thoughts
