What people often don't realize when the see a beautiful reef aquarium is that there is alot of behind the scenes work. One of the many task that we all do is the never ending testing/measuring of our tank parameters. With the many advances in this hobby in the recent years, I think they hit the mark with this one. Check this out: http://reefbuilders.com/2013/11/14/mindstream-aquarium-water-monitor/. Now that you know what it cost, how many of you would drop that coin to get this?
No more testing

I will believe it when I see it. Every couple of years something like this pops up in the hobby and goes nowhere. Call me skeptical but if this technology is there for constant monitoring why haven't any of the big players in the testing industry capitalized on it yet? Sounds like a pipe dream to me. If it comes to fruition though I will happily eat my words!!
Sorry, Ill stick with my old school tried and tested methods, I spend way too much time and money on my aquarium to rely on something like this, expecially while still in a somewhat experimental stage.
Now give it a few years to work bugs out and such and see how it does, then I might be in the market. Just my 2 cents

It doesn't have to work for it to sell. Can't you just see the Marine Depot homepage or email blast telling everybody how good it is? ala most LED panels that they sell. Maybe it will. Few thought that pinpoint could make a reliable calcium probe, but they did.
I set my tank up to where all that I test is Alk, SG and Temp. The calcium, magnesium and strontium comes in balance with the alk. I can tell by looking at it if the N or P need attention.
