I wanted to post my journey with my reefbot. Thus far, it has been great to use as an automated system to check the parameters of my tank. Being that it is an early adoption model, I guess there are some kinks to workout along the way.

I wanted to ask the reefbot community if they have noticed the end-caps being scraped from the needle during testing.

So beginning some research on the Reefbot.
My question is how does the unit handle the reagents?
It looks like the vials of reagents just sit there in the track, the syringe moves back and forth.
Using the API test kit for Nitrate as the example, the part two reagent needs to be vigorously shaken for thirty seconds for an accurate test. If the reagent vials are locked in place then how can it (They) be shaken if required?
Kid you not found a video on it the moment after I left the question....There is a magnet stirrer inside the reagent vial which stirs the reagent.
I finally got the corrected chip in and still no luck, tests for ammonia coming back pink when manual tests all say 2ppm (dark green). I’ve tried 2 different testing methods and still not a single test is the right color. I’m about done with it.
