New Digital Calcium Monitor

Dive_Master · 03-13-2005, 12:51 PM

What do you guys think of the American Marine Pinpoint Calcium Monitor?

I am tired of using Titration methods. I think I will invest $250.

I'm giving it some serious thought also, since I've added all my sps it's been hard for me to constantly figure out what I need to be doing to keep Ca where I want it, gets gradually harder every week.

I figure that I can buy 10 frags for $250. I will trust my Salifert test, once a week.

Good point! However, I have no more room in my tank for more frags. I just bought a gorgeous baby blue tip and had a real hard time finding room.

I think I will get the monitor!

As best as I can tell I loose 20ppm of Ca every 2 days. I'd really love to have the monitor, it'd pay for itself in test kits over time.

Well, let us know how it works out, I haven't read much that is good about them on a couple of other boards. Maybe yours will turn out better.
