Nice find.
Great in-depth comparison.

You will not be disappointed. I really like it and is one of if not the best investments for my planted tank.
To give you an idea I get all kinds of information almost real time(don't mind the amonia red), also light sensor is hidden now since I already got all my par readings I wanted. My eyes can only guess so much. I also like how it shows the temperature flucuations. Will be getting an inline heater which will make that temp line a lot straighter. Check my par readings I did here. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/1...24-7-planted-par-lux-kelvin-pur-readings.html

Haha, all your info in that pic just sold me on it. That will be my next investment for sure
I've got most of my tanks dialed in just based off observing growth and pearling (maybe not the way I should do it, but seems to work). It would just be cool to see a numerical value that goes with my observations so I can replicate my lighting for my next tank. Ok... that and the fact that I'm always swapping leds in/out of my heatsink experimenting with new things (and often strange ideas...lol).
Thx!
The only two things that can make it not as attractive is you needing a laptop always connected to it or have to purchase the separate "web server". I happen to have a spare laptop that I haven't needed till now so it was the perfect use. Second is if you do want it for say monitoring the PH and NH3 you have to replace the test strip every 30 days. A pack of 3 will set you back $30, and comes with just one. So roughly $10 a month. I do not plan on using the PH and NH3 after the 30 days as I will have my use out of it by then(dialing in my co2). But those are not downs for me but may be for some.Haha, all your info in that pic just sold me on it. That will be my next investment for sure

I really do like how you can access the data from anywhere through the cloud. You can get quick readings on your smart phone or anything that has access to a web browser. You can also have it text you alerts if anything falls out of range. Definitely very cool and handy.
