I was thinking of buying one for my reeftank but have now decided against it considering the ongoing costs for pH. Thanks for the great info

Nice review, it looks a good concept. However lots of extra purchases needed etc. What PH do you keep your aquarium at?

Sorry meant to say what do you do to keep PH relatively high?
@Kaityscichlids2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it adds up a lot! I'm not sure the expense is worth the utility. I use a mix of the Texas holey rock and crushed coral spread throughout the sand and in the filters to keep it up. Then I also add an African Cichlid buffer to help maintain it. No matter what it always creeps back to the 8.2 mark so I always have to be careful with big water changes. I believe I've lost a couple of fish before from having too big of a swing in pH

What slides need replacing? Is it all of them or just ammonia?
@deathproofduck6897 Жыл бұрын
It's one slide that allows the device to monitor both pH and ammonia.

You can use a mini pc for around $100 to use in place of the Seneye server.

I am questioning the accuracy of my seneye. It reads an ammonia level close to toxic, whereas the water tests I use show no ammonia. I even put 10 kg of brand new zeolite into the filtration system to see if it would drop the reading of the ammonia. It hasn't. I am wondering if you have compared the ammonia reading of your own seneye to other test methods?
@Kaityscichlids2 жыл бұрын
I compared mine to the API ammonia test kit when I had it, and I always found the seneye to be accurate

@@Kaityscichlids Personally I wouldn't use API ammonia tests. Thank you for replying, I do appreciate it. I was speaking to a few people who, like me, also found the seneye inaccurate for multiple readings, not just ammonia. The solution was to use a Hanna checker and then change the parameters manually on the seneye to match that of the Hanna checkers. This has to be repeated each time a slide is changed. With doing that you get a consistent reading that is 95 percent (or more) accurate. I am sure that seneye are aware that their device has a chance to be wrong, why else allow for manual calibrations. There's some videos of people testing just the PAR with a 200 percent over reading from the seneye as opposed to PAR dedicated devices

They do exist, but you either need to calibrate and frequently replace sensors or spend over £1000 just for one probe. So it makes no economical sense - it may be cheaper to pay somebody to do the maintenance.
