Mastertronic + dosertronic + red sea trace color program and test kit sound like a killer combo. I also looking forward a lot more to the feedertronic than filtertronic. Auto increase coral food / phytoplankton / amino dose according to nutrient sound great.

Devin, I'm wondering about the tank water that sits in the tubing on all these auto testing units. If the intake line is 3-6 feet, that seems like a lot of water that needs to be removed before an accurate new test can be completed, or you would be testing the same water you did for the past 6 test. Is the correct, or am I missing something? Thanks for the education!

Not knocking it,, just giving my opinion. Looks very similar to the reefbot. Only difference I see is the carisol, the leak detector and the double needle. Curious how long each test take? Amount or reagents each vial can hold and actually test. It looks promising and interesting. Hopefully it doesn't have the same issues the reefbot did. Great interview and content Devin

The need to change the needles so often is a deal breaker for me. Once a year and i would have considered it. The Ion director by ghl seems more appealing at this point.
@austinjt4264
@austinjt4264 3 жыл бұрын
Can you do a lengthy report to why you think GHL is more appealing? I have 4 set of KH Directors. And one KH Lab from Pacific Sun. I am a store owner, getting these were the idea to test best one and have it on all of my corals system. Shop still in renovation. So haven't really use any of them. Soon shop will be done... so I'm doing all research I can find... before settling with any brand. Also... Reason I'm here cuz Mastronic can test using normal test kits that can be get everywhere. I owned Trident before, the lack of reagents, the waits for reagents, only to get the batches that was leaked... that was the last straw I pulled on Neptune.

great stream,newer products coming look promising.howevere,one caveat ,who amoung you reef dudes knows what the correct relationship between nutrrients and lighting?I see youtubers get online and spout all kinds of theories (present company excluded) and if they have a large following that is the mantra.age is not always important but I have been involved in Marine sciences since Jacques Costeau was young.I do not know everything,never will.but some in this Net community proclaim they do.so,Devan,what is the relationship between light and Nurients?not putting you on the spot,but when have you had a guest,who is from Scripps or Woodshole or ?Marine biologists are available to be interviewed.reach out to them. Great channel and alll be safe out there, Doc BC

Brs won’t carry any focustronic products b/c they say they aren’t good enough for them to carry 😂😂 but they carry the trident, dos , etc etc which are extremely inferior to the dosetronic and alkatronic. I liked it when Brs wasn’t a bias product pushing site. The sponsorship from Brs on the opening credits is what triggered my response.
