I thought was supposed to hush hush info. I’ve set mine calc/mag test 9am & 9pm when lights are on/off just to see how much calcium is consumed in a day. While alk test is alone is 6am & 3pm so i can adjust alk dosing

Some good tips there Dev. I believe the shelf life of the reagents is longer than what Neptune indicates, but I do agree that there could be some oxidation on the reagents if you only tested once a day.

Great tip! Thanks Deven…

Good stuff. That OSC command always seems confusing to me. I use If/Then statements as well, so much easier to understand.

[@BlackGoldReefing]

Wow that makes it clear as a bell now. I am assuming doing this will not affect the trident auto dos setting based of the test results.

[@spencerwu6967]

any data on stability of the trident reagents, I have been using the 6 month reagents and didn't know their shelf life is only 2 months

You are making this video to try and get the apex back on par with the hydros

[@ReefDudes]

I made it because I have been asked many times how to do it :) What this does have to do with hydros ?

[@steveplays5408]

@@ReefDudes hydros new tester allowed you tp test the 5 items individually at any interval you want. While apex has a set schedule and test all piramider on the same schedule out of the box they way I understand it

@@steveplays5408 The new hydros one is not out yet so kind of hard to compare it until its out in the wild. until then its all marketing and speculation :) I have only used the Alkatronic/mastertronic with they hydros but it was nice that they worked together nicely
