Complete opposite for me, I don't trust Milwaukee haha Mine failed and wasn't shutting off the solenoid. Went to my apex and never had an issue.

No problems with Apex here.

I haven’t tried the Milwaukee for “control” yet. I’d much rather an Apex for control purposes, but not for pH accuracy. Milwaukee has been in the pH game for 30 years! It definitely shows when you look at their accuracy over other devices. Just the way they calibrate made me a believer.

I need a regular monitor now. I think the monitor is $87 and the controller is like $130

Yeah that is one of the cleanest tanks I’ve seen. Super nice! Noopsyche is actually sending me some K7V3’s to test right now.

Actually pretty clean for a budget light. They’re like a black box in pretty form. Apparently they grow corals as you can see in that video. For $169 you can’t beat them. But no I will not pull my Radion’s off. Just doing some PAR testing and Spread.

Sold out - either high demand or they are trying to boost their product.
Yeah, I was looking at their t5 hybrid light last year... The 48" fixture as well as the mounting legs have been sold out for over 9 months!Sold out - either high demand or they are trying to boost their product.
Supply chain issue most likely. It's pretty bad right now with Shanghai locked down longer then expected now.... dont expect the price to be the same as before either cause of shipping container costs have dramatically risen. And Chyna is not allowing their empty containers to be used to ship American good back. So they're eating more cost themselves by not bringing in American goods. Jusy hurts both sides...Sold out - either high demand or they are trying to boost their product.
Just like when Soymilk found those ATOs for so cheap.. most likely BRS bought them all.

Can’t say they impress me all that much on initial unboxing. The power brick is huge and they only come with one support bracket similar to the ones that you can buy for Radions. The light itself is smaller than a Radion. Look at the ALK checker for size reference.

Not gonna lie it does feel good in your hand though. Has a little weight to it. Fan is pretty sweet looking too. It’s a nice blue for sure, but I couldn’t figure out how to change the colors. I’ll have to play with it soon.

Here are the new power bricks. Also new products will be announced soon, so if you guys like these lights, don’t pull the trigger just yet. The new models will be coming soon and it will push the price down even lower on these, but you may light the new model’s better.
LEd pucks look like my kessil AP700s... just smaller package.
wish it had a 0-10v interface
