I'm considering purchasing this, as I don't see the Mastertronic coming in-stock anytime soon. And the Trident does test everything, and you have to use their reagents. I like being able to choose.
Not thrilled about the needle every 25 tests, but I'm sure we can buy needles in bulk pretty cheap.
Waiting to hear when these might be back in stock.

Hello,
The needle last for 60 tests. Cheers

At this point I feel like reefbot (which was an awesome idea) had it's day and failed to pan out. Now we just hope GHL comes down enough to compete with/out compete Apex. *Fingers crossed*

I never had Reefbot but being the first to do what they did so many moving parts bound to be issues i do see some poeple with great results and most them im sure ar every technically minded some issues anrt really issue. really best way would be like GHL, Dont know why they could have KH and ION in one just have 2 probs one pump is for reagent so you actually use 4 pumps all other pumps do same as other when testing. Just thoughts. I will look at Reefbot V2 as still nothing to test PO4 on a sensor

Did these guys go out of business? I’d love to try a ReefBot but it looks like the company hasn’t been active for quite a while. Anyone aware of an alternative? Particularly interested in automated testing of nitrates and phosphates.

I still run a reefboy v1 to to check nitrates and phosphates.

Using a reefbot initially requires time and patience. But once you have a system set, understand how things work and work with their staff - you can achieve an automated test system.

Reefbot v1 needed constant tinkering and maintenance... to the point of less time was involved to just do my weekly titration tests... the worst piece of equipment I've ever wasted $ on. Customer service was good but they ended up making you the technician and guinea pig for their premature product you paid good $ for.
