[@queencityreefs]

Agreed 🙌👏🙏👌

[@hyy3657]

They should allow third party trident suppliers.

@@hyy3657 They wouldn’t dream of it. lol.

[@cesarjuarez2066]

I’ve ordered twice. Every time I try them it makes my trident act up and not read correctly. I liked the idea but didn’t work for me.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Really! That’s pretty interesting. I’ve never had an issue. Do you calibrate using tank water?

[@dirtyprinz224]

Mine worked perfect went half’s with someone on fb I’m in London uk I’m due to buy my own

[@TheEagle14489]

Where are you buying it for $60?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

At ABC’s home website. I think CoralVue sells it too, but I don’t go through them. It might cost more there.

If it’s out of a basement there’s no overhead/workman’s comp/ employee salary list goes on. I’d like to see batch testing be the same then I would have more faith in an off brand but for 100-150 for the year difference. The average reefer probably spends that on all the different snake oils that do nothing. Not knocking someone trying to help just saying I would jump so quick to crazy markups other than the norm every reefing company does. Glue and liquid chems is a big one 😊

@@taksteens45 Jonas, the creator of ABC, is a lead chemist for Eli Lilly pharmaceuticals. He commercialized the production of ABC Reagents by striking a partnership with CoralVue. And then helped them develop the Maven. I’d say I trust him more than Neptune Systems, a company controlled by a bunch of venture capitalists from Bertram, who absolutely don’t care about reefers, just their bottom line. Look up Reef Dork’s livestream interviews with Jonas if you want to know more. Neptune struggles with quality control of basic products in their lineup, so I have all the reason in the world to look for alternatives in this industry, and this alternative is as viable as they come.

I stand corrected. No keyboard warrior here. I see companies coming in that are starting to compete but Neptunes one of the standards everyone test other products against. Unless I’m wrong there also. Just thought it was alittle aggressive stance, you trust the machine from the company to govern on average a multi thousand dollar tank. Or I hope for the hundreds to thousands an auto tester costs. @kalamazoo_reefer some people will overlook the 50 dollar difference every six months I feel just to stay with brand

[@taksteens45]

Thank you for the info thou I will look into him I’ve heard good things to come from the maven
