Yes I understand but how will the trident know how much to dose? The problem is I know my tank. I don’t want the computer to be like oh alk is .1 below, let’s run the dosing schedule twice today so my alk is jacked up to 20dkh. I don’t want to lose 6k in corals to a computer assuming. So how will it know how much? I’m ok if it notifies me and gives me the option to dose and allows me to chose how much I want put into the tank.
You already can lose 6k of corals to a computer. You aren’t sitting next to the tank with a fire and a thermometer, are you? You use a heater. You’ve already accepted technology. This won’t be any different.
It won’t just randomly “decide” to randomly dose to 20dkh. No more than your car decides to slam on the brakes randomly.
Initially you’ll enter your typical starting dose of whatever product you’re using. APEX DOES NOT SELL A 2 PART.
So let’s say I’m currently dosing 60ml/day. My alk is 8.
I get a trident. Let’s say it will be allowed to adjust the dKh to 8, by modifying dosing by +- 10% MAX. If that is unable to maintain 8dkh, it notifies me.
There will obviously be safeguards. For example if trident gets a reading that doesn’t make sense, like an alkalinity reading of 10dkh right after 8dkh taken 15 minutes prior, it’ll throw an error message.
This is just my basic assumptions. People at apex know what they’re doing: that’s why it’s taken so long. If you don’t trust technology, go live off the grid.
However, I most likely won’t use the auto-dosing adjustments for a couple months. I’d want to make sure that my specific unit is reliable and accurate before I give it adjustment capability :)
