FarmerTy Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah, their target audience is reefers who want to see continuous trends and look for correlations between metrics over time. It's appealing to some of us, but cost prohibitive unless fully proven Their target audience seems more in line with academic initiatives than your common reefer.Let's get a dumbed down version for us hobbiests!

It's appealing to some of us, but cost prohibitive unless fully proven Just wait until they get it hooked up to your dosers so that it auto-corrects conditions as your tank encounters them. Imagine the "cloud" doing all the hard math for you and continually monitoring it.... I predict Ty has one in 24 months or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT'S more like it! If there was a way to measure alk without using reagents or powders or the like, that would make life so much easier for me. Then whoever is tank-sitting can't use the excuse that alk tests are too complicated or time consuming to perform, a simple dip-and-read and done. I'll have to look more into this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 i still think this will end up as vaporware. if they couldn't crowdsource it into existence, it seems unlikely that they'll be able to swing production on private equity. after a failed crowdsource, what investor ponies up the money? The cost is too high, the lack of de facto standard controller interoperability (apex) is prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'll say is these guys seemed really smart but maybe like they are still learning their target audience. At this point I would not be surprised to see an aquisition, mainly for their patents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks sweet, it's test alk, cal, nitrate phosphate and lots of other stuff if you wana add it.It also exists already which is a plus as well!

FarmerTy Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Randy Farley Holmes, the chemistry guru of reefkeeping mentioned their reporting/testing limits don't add up on their website. May want to wait until it passes the vaporware test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I thought you were able to experience the maroon sunshine pumping on nights and weekends on your way to college station! If your metric of success is recent players in the NFL, by all means move those goalposts to whatever gets the kick through. However, if we're talking grand totals, there are 37 longhorns on rosters vs 29 aggies. Although to be fair, if you count coaches, recruiting coordinators and h2o technicians like this reputable aggie source does, then they may have a lead. Ultimately It's ok, I'm willing to deal with some (hopefully short term) mediocrity because as a student I've experienced a national championship in a time period after hitler invaded. Get back to me after rice, my attitude may have been slightly altered depending on the outcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wow has this thread degraded. Crazy we can have a conversation on algorithms that compute alk from multiple metrics at the same time as ags vs horns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I can certainly respect making ones self feel a little better by reflecting on past successes. Makes the present easier to handle. Longhorn students right now do have it rough though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
