Very cool to look at your controller status. Do you have a continuous water change set up on DOS_1 and DOS_2?

 

[Thales]

Yeah. Water change is the bottom right.

I'm so jealous! Can't wait to be able to just look at a screen and know the Alk of my reef!

It's life changing! (It really is)

 

[ws6kid]

Yea, this tank is ridiculous. Well done Very envious of that spot on your apex screen reading "ALK_DK".

 

[wowkingjames]

Beautiful tank!

Madness! I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore when I log in.

See what you did!?

You too? You dog!

You too? You dog!

I've got the KHG. I'm looking forward to APEX releasing Jim Welsh's design so I can just plug it into my APEX, so I am still jealous too. (I just don't have to test my alkalinity and be jealous )

Oh DUH! You've got that awesome thread! Ok sorry for the hijack back to this awesome reef!

 

[BoomCorals]

What an incredible reef tank. How do you manage to pile all the corals in there and keep any from hurting each other!

You like? Do you feel it is accurate and precise? Can you remind me of how it tests/does the calculation?
Sorry to the OP for the hijack! LOL

 

[mikeandkerry]

One of the nicest reefs I have ever seen! Wow Richard you have to give us more details and photos!

That is one of the nicest tanks ever
One day I hope to have something like that

 

[trido]

See what you did!?

Yes, I've created an Apex monster. Amazing tank as always

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Absolutely stunning!

It has it's own issues. It has worked very well for me. It uses an acid titration with a pH probe to determine the KH. There are some shortcomings that they are in the process of correcting from my understanding.

I think it's accurate enough, it seems to do a wonderful job of keeping me informed of my alkalinity. It's also kept me out of trouble and dosed to make up for increases in uptake, giving me time to make adjustments to my dosing regime. So far it has been very reliable for me as well, and my corals are appreciating the fact that I'm able to fine tune my dosing and keep things much more constant. It has taught me a lot about trends in alkalinity uptake that I would not have realized only testing once a day.

I'm excited to see what everyone else brings to the table for alkalinity controllers, it's a wonderful thing that's happening!

I move stuff around from time to time.

You have an angel, marine betta, copperband, happy dendros and 41 Nitrates....what kind of magic are you working sir?

does anybody realize who this really is ???

Yep, Richard Ross.

I think that explains it

 

[Thales]

I think that explains it

Nah, I'm just some guy you know?
