How long before that comes out you think?
I have no idea but I'll be the first in line to buy two of them. Once you get your basic parameters stable and you can monitor them effortlessly, the only next big thing to keep an eye on are the nutrients. That's the same regardless of if you use the DSR system or are a water change person. The nutrient monitor will be just as revolutionary, if not more so, than alk monitoring.

I ran this 20 long AIO I made for years with just a 5 gallon lowes bucket underneath for top off with about 3" of kalk just sitting in the bottom. No stirrer. That plus weekly 15-20% water changes with Reef Crystals.

How a salt mixes is probably what I care about most
That's another concern for some folks as well. For instance, I don't mind power washing my 150 gallon vat every few months because Reef Crystals leaves buildup. Each person will have different pressure points when it comes to salt, so what works for one person might not work for another.

Some much worse that RC, I used that for a long time. I still wash my containers regularly, but sometimes its also my fault.

It's just some yellow leather I had. I had it for maybe 6 years and it got much larger. Tragically, I lost it after I did a fenbendazole treatment on my tanks. I stored my leathers in a friends tank for 3 months. Apparently, that wasn;t long enough to get it out of the system. Luckily, I only lost that one and one or two other leathers in my softie tank. The 24" tyree green toadstool settled back in just fine!

I have a Fiji Yellow that has kept some yellow color, which is why I was asking. Inappropriate Reefer just did a video on the Fiji Yellow and how running greens higher can help it keep the bright yellow color.

Yeah if I ever see another yellow one then I'll buy it. Mine stayed fairly yellow. I was just running a pre-runner to what would be known as a VipraSpectra. That's right, kids. I was using them long before they were cool :cool:

Or at least long before they were over $100 because BRS had to go and make a stupid video highlighting my little secret lights. I used to buy them for $88 on ebay :crying-face:

I'll send you a frag if you pay shipping. More than happy to share some love, they are hard to find.

I still have one but the whites shorted out. Now the blue fader dial has a short in it.

I will absolutely take you up on that once I get my fish room expansion finished! You pay for shipping too and I'll send you a box of goodies :)
