Mastertronic does it, but its a maintenance nightmare after owning it for over a year.I think something of the sorts actually exists, in limited form at GHL. I do wonder if their mobile and browser app experience and UI/UX has improved?
My KHC measure pH higher than the Hydros does I guess I may need to calibrate both of them using the same calibration solutions.We have them available and I just got mine set up a few days ago.

Kamoer KH Carer Alkalinaty Tester
The Kamoer KH Carer Alkalinity Tester is an automatic testing device measuring KH values (Alkalinity) in an aquarium. It includes manual and automatic detection functions.www.marineandreef.com
I wanted an alk tester that could be used stand-alone and that I could service myself. Since Kamoer makes the internals of some of the other testers I figured their own tester would be a better bet. So far so good. I am not dosing with it yet just testing, but after calibration, it is measuring inline with my Hanna Checker. The pH measurements are measuring below my Apex even with both pH probes calibrated to the same solution. I think this is from the sulfuric acid reagent in the testing vessel depressing the pH around the probe. I would not use it for pH monitoring. The app took a bit to work through but now that I understand it a bit better I see it has a lot of adjustments and control options.

Currently no integration option for the apex. It does work with hydros via Wi-Fi/cloud link.Does this offer pH probe integration with the Apex? Or any form of integration? How does this compare to the alkatronic?
Bummer thanks.Currently no integration option for the apex. It does work with hydros via Wi-Fi/cloud link.
I'm sure they are in the works, I assume the hardest part is having liquid testing reagents and the accuracy, it's not that those are difficult tests to preform but to be automated over and over without issue and at an affordable price range is the issue.This is interesting. I wish there was a less complicated machine to test nitrate , phosphate, alkalinity and a few other major elements in one machine…other than the mastertronic
I sure hope so. I struggle lately to keep my nutrients up and having an auto tester would be such a convenience and help to stabilize my reef that much more.I'm sure they are in the works, I assume the hardest part is having liquid testing reagents and the accuracy, it's not that those are difficult tests to preform but to be automated over and over without issue and at an affordable price range is the issue.
But that side of things is moving very quickly, I don't think it will be long.![]()
I am serious https://www.vernier.com/product/nitrate-ion-selective-electrode/For all reading this, there is a means to test your nitrates. In fact, it's already been built for other water systems but uses ISE not reagent. From what I remember, it was about $400 or so just for the probe.
This is more of a test than automatedI am serious https://www.vernier.com/product/nitrate-ion-selective-electrode/

Put one in a pipe, get readings sent regularly. Many of these plug into something for recording.This is more of a test than automated
Looks good! I see the door is clear, do you worry about light causing film algae on the ph probe, I've read about this being an issue, not known to be fact though.
I dont see algae on PH Probe but I rinse it with RODI every 2 weeks. But has little bit on magnet stirrer.Looks good! I see the door is clear, do you worry about light causing film algae on the ph probe, I've read about this being an issue, not known to be fact though.
Awesome setup. What are those hinges on the door ? Love to use them in my build
If I remember correctly I had to go through the guided setup the first time. It wants you to go through all the calibrations in a specific order the first time. At that time the maintain was not working though. There were some firmware and app updates since that time since that was back in November. It may have changed some since then.Unboxed and tried to setup tonight but constant Parameter error messages I can't see or fix. Went through the guided configuration and they persist. Jumped in the Test menu and was able to set Times of Rinsing but it says Volume Range is presently 0.0 and doesn't let me change it without Parameter Error. Then when I click on Maintain, I get a spinning wheel which says Loading for a fraction of a second but sub menu including Settings never opens. First impressions of the app are less than stellar and documentation worse. Messaged Kamoer a couple hours ago but no reply yet. Who has the magic decoder ring to make this thing work?
