I saw those, they are blunt tip rather than hypodermic. I think they will tear up or not pierce the silicone vial covers. Let us know how they work. Thanks!

Dang I didn’t know they were dull . Well.. not like I paid 850.00 for em : ) I’ll let you know . If anyone finds 2 inch (50mm) 23G Hypodermic Needle pls let us know . I looked many places and couldn’t find none .. 1 1/2 inch is the Longest normal all over the net I seen

I’ll keep looking, but we might need to do a big custom order. I think they are nonstandard.

Yeah you are probably right , I’ll look more tonight . That’s most likely what RK did is have them made in 10,000 per lot

I looked for the needles and haven't found them so far. I found the syringes on Amazon.

I haven't looked for the bottle tops yet, but I bet they last a long time.

If anybody finds the needles in the US, it would be a big help to all of us as I am bending needles pretty regularly, although knocking on wood I haven't for 5-6 tests now.

Something is wrong if you're bending them.

No doubt, but that’s a different issue than where to get more.

I’m in if that helps

Finding 2 inch hypodermic needles is tougher than it looks . I ordered these but these are the ones that twist and lock .. I figured I could shave off that part with a razor blade .. just showing what I ordered .. o also am waiting on these so can’t give feed back

That's a big GA needle blunt tips aren't ideal for multiple puncture vials. Especially 14ga.

The needles are 23G, but they need to be hypodermic and not blunt tip for sure.

Must of showed wrong one , I got the 23G Same size as what it came with but they aren’t sharp

I don't know what you're asking.

What was calibration process? What calibrations were you able to do? Where did you find them?

If your using the salifert alk kit the syringe is the same.

Ok Thanks for clearing up some of the issues i mentioned. 1 year warranty wasn't mentioned in the original email i received. so "30 days warranty only applies for shipping due to our logistics partners for refund of device." means 30 day money back guarantee? And if the device needs to be physically returned due to problems that can't be solved using emails it would have to be shipped back to you in Lebanon? And if yes what would approximate turn around time be? Also how soon will the Nitrate test be able to use reagents other than API? *Salifert/Nyos are very good for that test. THX

Well it's been a week and they haven't replied back to me so I guess major problems with machine and it goes back to Lebanon. Can imagine $$ for shipping & turn around time. No matter what's said here there are a lot of problems with this machine & whether u wan't to admit it or not ur 'beta testers'. I need to see a proven track record ( 1+ year) and more variety of available testing reagents b4 I even consider plopping down that kind of money.

I'd try to email them again. They have had less the 24hr responses to me.

On the app there are 2 calibrations you need to do.

This didn’t help anyone at all thank you for letting us know you ain’t buying one and trying to make the ones that did feel some type of way for trying to move the hobby foward and supporting innovations.... They probably haven’t reply because they know you’re not buying one lol

Yes i have done both a few times.
Than I started testing and the bot froze with the needle in po4 regent the second time it froze with the needle full of regent in the up position.
Still waiting for a response from reefkneticsinfo emails sent on 15th

It’s clear when purchasing that you are early adopter Beta tester . It has been tested for 3-4 years . The only problem I have is I’m not getting even close readings or a plain zero after week of using . It was pretty close at first .

And for the not returning your message try to email them , this isn’t the official Thread for ReefBot , we just kinda hung around using it as .

Also remember there's a huge time change between any place in the United States and Lebanon. I believe they also get weekends off from work.
My buddy got his phosphate test loaded up and it is reading the exact same as the test done by us.
