Couldn't wait, last one left and Trung (soymilk) would have gotten it if he found it first 🤣 I got enviously jealous of Mittens alktronic. 😂 so now the fun part begins... taking 20x longer to setup then my trident.

Its already worrying me... had to take a long shower to process how much I spent. When I was at Trungs office at the end he was like screw it plump a line through a plastic jug and let it drop alk lol... nah but seriously still haven't opened the box. Want to keep the apex on sps cube but if I use this then I can dose alk,cal,phosphates and nitrates on the super fast growing sps cube with 7 AI hydra. Need more food for photosynthesis. Need to figure out how to incorporate it. Then ill put the trident on the waterbox 220 mixed reef and use the apex/trident/calcium reactor. Skimmer only running halfway for aeration on sps cube.. Lot of people taking them offline but I need the aeration and co2 scrubber going til the MASTERTRONIC takes over. 60 gallon mixed reef wife tank going good with just water change and some alk in the top off. I just wanna use that new tropic marin 1 for all

Why’s it taking so long to set up?

I’m debating about just picking up some help from Home Depot and having them do my water tests for me.

One thing that lead me to buy this as I was sitting in the bank parking lot to pull some monies I was watching videos of the mastertronic. The inside and how it operates looks like a tesla factory not just a normal head driven pumps. This uses kamoer style pumps which are still superior to the trident pumps. Im building the courage to unbox it and post some pics.

Of If knew that alktronic was for sale I would have bought it instantly. Hmmm PM with a price if Trung hasn't bought it yet. I could use that to dose more constantly alk which is #1 key esp for sps then I can dose cal mag nitrates phosphates with the others..... with my stenner pimp AWO. Have a Genesis reef system AtO and Waterchange system im debating to put into the waterbox or just sell it.

Some teaser pics for the night... packaging was very nice. 20220428_011452.jpg everything was cleanly packaged for.protection. 20220428_011549.jpg unit is quite heavy 90k built very solidly. 20220428_011740.jpg

And Walla the openings of a new transformation about to begin 20220428_011829.jpg
This uses needles and test tube reagents.
Okay now where are the instructions. Guess youtube is my friend tonight.....

I really like the idea that you can use off the shelf reagents from multiple companies for this thing. From what I’ve seen it takes a long time to test though (1 per hour?) and it looks huge. lol!
