    Mate. What a great video. Informative with great explanations for each step. I stay away from these types of kit because they are often difficult to set up. You’ve made it look like a breeze! Keep up the great vids!!

    These instructions were great, thank you . Just installed mine, after 15 years of reefing this is a dream. Amazingly after a number of tests my PH was at 8.2 :) I run my tank outside so no CO2 happening. I’ll be moving it inside soon so be interesting to see the before and after. I had to laugh on the back of the unit it says Profational! Surely someone’s being silly :)

      Wow took about 6 tests for mine to get a good reading, interesting mine was set with a washrate of 1, I noticed a low ph reading on one of my tests thinking the chamber might not be getting washed proper. I moved it to 2 for washrate and checked in the manual, turns out 2 is default, no idea how mine was 1 , but it bought my reading of Kh from 7.6 to 8.1 on the first try and confirmed on second test, salifert is giving me 8.4 , however salifert a single drop colour change could easy be 0.3dkh :) out. be interesting to see if anyone also has an out of box washrate of 1.

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому

      Yeah washrate of 2 is always good!
      You can set an adjustment if you need to bridge the gap on that 0.3dkh difference, but I’d just give it another couple days

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому +1

      That’s the way KHG recommend you set it up. Have your normal doser set to handle 90-95% of your alk demand and let the KHG fill the gap. Once the KHG consistently has to keep filling the gap, raise your main doser 👍🏻

    Ordered one today. freaky as I was watching your old KH Guardian video, was going to hit you up about your long term view. I wonder with that API if I can modify a doser to adjust calcium.

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому

      The API has all the information you need, but not sure how you would control any other doser with that information other than making an arduino interface.
      We have made an interface before using an arduino that tapped into the alk doser motor. It measured the time that the alk motor dosed for then dosed other heads based off a multiplication factor for calcium and magnesium :)

    • @jestronixhanderson9898
      @jestronixhanderson9898 3 роки тому +1

      Interesting, you got me thinking about a relay that’s powered off the alk motor, this could kick off a very similar “dosing motor” with a variable voltage you could calibrate that second motor. Or maybe the calcium reactor method on the kamoer pump ? Maybe run two kamoers, to be honest though calcium is pretty forgiving and easy dial in manually. The arduino method is interesting.

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому

      They have a calcium reactor module that is configurable via the standard software.
      An arduino driving some relays is the best option as it allows you to set time delays, optional multipliers etc

    I've read articles on DIY reagents for KHG. It would be convenient if not only for cost but more since the OEM can be hard to get sometimes. Also read somewhere that there may be a new security feature in the firmware to detect non-OEM reagents. Have you ever tried making tour own? What's your take?

    If its the former, it makes the value proposition even stronger for me. As someone manually dosing by hand - and someone who hates the "Read the colour change" test kits, if this one does 2 jobs for the price of one I'm seriously tempted...

    Hi Sam, nice video.
    I've just purchased a unit.
    The instructions say use a 500 micron or less filter on the salt water inlet. Just wondering what you use and where you buy them.
    I believe the check valves provided have a filter in them, but do you use anything at the source?

      Hey Tim,
      I've never actually used a filter on the salt water intake and I've used multiple KHG's for years now... I notice the other options on the market do come with a little intake filter, but I feel it is not necessary. Just ensure you have the inlet hose in a spot where it wont draw in too much detritus and you'll be fine :)

      Hi Jay, I'm afraid there is no set instructions as it depends on your router - its more a networking question than a KHG questions. In essence, this is what you want to do:
      1. Log onto your router, find the dynamic dns settings, see which providers are available.
      2. Create a free dynamic dns account with one of these providers
      3. Enter the dynamic DNS settings into your router
      4. Setup port forwarding on your router
      5. Done!

    How do you dose if you using AF component 1+2+3?

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому +1

      Continue to dose 1/2/3, just use the KHG to monitor and perhaps just dose a little. As soon as the KHG starts dosing more than a little, adjust your main dosing of 1/2/3 to remain balanced

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  3 роки тому

      So so so many reasons why, let me share with you!
      1. This is stand alone. Doesn’t need apex, GHL or anything else to work.
      2. This is by far the cheapest
      3. This has been around waaaay longer than the competition and the product reliability and accuracy shows
      4. Support is second to none
      5. I personally believe this to be far more accurate due to the optical sensors being used instead of relying on calibration of stepper motors.
      6. WiFi is no issue
      7. Stand is a free 3D print
      8. Don’t need measuring cups ;)

      @@ParkersReef makes sense. I guess a scale is more accessible than a pipette or graduated cylinder anyway. Super neat device and nice video. It's amazing how sophisticated the reef tools are now. We're a far cry away from the early days, before people started using two part, etc lol.

      I was about to say the same / ask the same question. I know that a Ml of seawater weighs a little more than a gram - which makes sense based on dissolved solids, but if its pure (i.e. RODI Water), then 1ml = exactly 1 gram.
      I'm assuming that the instructions say weigh instead of measure since most of us have scales that go right down to the gram - if not higher accuracy - but measuring liquids to the exact ml is considerably harder...
