I love the idea of the reefbot. Will watch closly as I doubt it will be stocked in the UK, so probably no way to get any experience other than by reading the forums elsewhere.

Hasn't been released yet, but I'm excited about it!ok, i just saw this post but is this product out yet? i see it is a sponsor on this forum...
and still why is it not blowing up the reefing community if it is out and working?
reefkinetics.comWhere did you get them from are you in the us?
API NO3 is fine if you run 5-10-20ppm NO3. Any lower than 5ppm and it reads 0ppm. There is a big difference between 4ppm and absolute zero NO3!For nitrate, I like api, I like it. I haven’t tried phosphate, anyone like phosphate tests with api?
Thanks for posing. So, do you think this might happen to everyone because of the material choice , or it's just a bad product that you received? Kind of dangerous.So I got my reefbot all setup and ran a few tests then it stopped working. Their support wiki isn’t great but it does mention you can get a corrupted SD card. So I opened up the back to reflash the SD and as soon as the back comes off I can smell it (burned electrical components). It looks like one of the tantalum capacitor exploded. They are basically fuel + an oxidizer in one package! I never use them for that exact reason. I’m lucky this didn’t start a fire honestly. You can see the charring on the bottom connector. I know this is supposed to be for early adopters but this is pretty scary. It was only running for a few days
And yes the main processor is a raspberry pi
