This is what am talking about sir a full review of a few testers this information for a newbie like myself is invaluable I appreciate your time my friend.

Thanks for the video! Honestly i just replaced 2 tridents that needed maintenance and a mastertronic for 2 reefbot lab, waiting on the second one to arrive. Any one who tried them all will surely say that the reefbot is the best option to go with, really wish they could add a doser soon

Great comparison!
I had an autotester for KH and it was such a pain and unreliable. I'm better testing once a week. Be great if there was a reasonably price autotester (under $750) that tested the big 5 and you could test as little as each once per week with cheap reagent.
If they did that (and they could) every reefer would get one and would test a lot.
But my experience was it was more hassle per test than Salifert and a LOT more expensive

Having an auto tester is key and like you said does save a lot of time. I do have the trident which works well as I use it for dosing as well but am looking for a standalone to cross check. Great info Deven. Thanks.

I hate testing so much. But I’ve been doing this a long time so keeping non demanding SPS and frequent water changes has worked for my set up. But once I splurge for that dream tank I’ll definitely be acquiring an auto tester. Thanks for the info!

Hello Devon, thanks for answering my email earlier :) Glad you made this a video!

[cherokeemary]

All I know is I've never seen or heard of a reef bot that thing is nuts!!! We really are entering the future of reefing. Love it!

I'm using Hanna checkers, NO3 HR, PO4 LR, alkalinity in DKH, and calcium. I get pretty accurate results compared to my red sea test kits too. For magnesium I'm using red sea test, I test once a week, sometimes I miss a week but that's ok lol.

You should have a look at the Xepta range, they look quite interesting, auto-testing without test kits with probes apparently.

[FinnVL]

Awesome video but I dont know if you are aware but the ask a question place on the website is not functioning.

[cesar]

I hope apex makes a new model that does more

[tukanxx]

It is worth mentioning an important issue, namely Trident and their reagents, it is not possible to buy the KH reagent alone, you have to buy the whole kit, which is total stupidity because Mg and Ca tests are not performed as often as KH in my case and probably many other people.

It is a pity that you did not additionally show the applications, their appearance, ease of use and possibilities

I have a 300 gallon salt water tank. Been in the hobby for forty years. Test and measure my water with a strip every few days and manually add whatever I need into my sump. The youngest fish I have is 15 years old and have fish that are not even suppose to be together multiple angels, multiple triggers, wrasse, clowns. I wouldn’t waste money on this

[alexisramos]

Devin where did you get that mini trident cover???

[TheHelicapt]

Where can I buy the reefbot in the USA ?

[ericacosta]

Which has been the most consistent with set it and forget it?

[nitrox]

How often do you have to change the probe on the KH Keeper? And can you use other makes of probe to save some cash?

[DoYouEvenFishTank]

Did you actually buy any of these as you don't disclosed how many were paid promotions?

[basoeegy]

How long will the mastertronic testing last usually if you test once a week?
