Zlements have been trying to explain this new system on their Facebook page for days, without mentioning the KH manager, and people have been a bit confused by the whole thing. It almost seemed like just a rebranding. This video makes it all make sense now and basically it seems like the new program has been designed around working with the KH manager :)
I’m yet to find a KH management system that gives me confidence. I tried the PH probe of Reef Factory and the GHL KH Director and both are underwhelming and unreliable and have significant design flaws. I also tried the D&D doser which they say is ‘consumer ready’ but I couldn’t get it to work on an iPhone as I had to operate it via a clunky Kamoer app. One thing that frustrates me in this hobby is all these companies that put out mediocre kit.
Does the kh manager only work with the p4 pro doser? I'm pretty sure I've read that it's only compatible with that doser but can't put my finger on where I seen this comment.
@ReefDork I was just wondering if it was compatible with other dosers or is it exclusively compatible with the one in the video which is the p4 pro. Cheers
Great video, this method looks like something I may try I’ve always used redsea abc powders and trace. My question would be (difficult to answer but there must be a ball park figure) kh manager aside would this be a pricey method?
Ok i get the idea, but pH will try to go down when lights are out and obviously kh manager will dose more of the stuff to keep it pegged wich means alk will go up.... this is the same as Meckleys method which i cant see how can you keep alk stable?
I think it only doses alkalinity when the tank needs alkalinity so it won't increase the alkalinity just because pH is low, it'll just dose the high pH alkalinity part overnight
@@ReefDork mmm maybe i understood it then, might try it as fed up with Meckelys method due to not stable evaporation in my tank. Did they mention if its doable with Apex system?
I have been using RZ for 4 years and I have only ever had to add a bump up dose of magnesium once in that whole time, and that wasn't because it was particularly low (1303.74) just a tweak. I have just checked my ICP results going back to 2021 to verify. In the past year and a half the lowest it has got is 1355.59 with no additional dosing. How much are you having to add and how often? And out of curiosity is this based on home test kit results?

@@Mark-hb2zy this was the 2nd take - I watched the first take back and it didn't make sense 😅

i am having trouble getting to get my Kh manger to read the same as a hanna test to start with never mind having it control my tank
❤
when is it coming out
Don't know I'm afraid

I think that's the doser they were using in this video?

@@christiangodsall4571 Sorry, I misread! It's only the D-D doser yeah (the pro I think)
@@christiangodsall4571 i got it working with Apex DOS using their new method, just some coding and thats it
Like most KH management systems, it will be compatible with the same brand of doser

The dosing liquids aren't cheap but I don't think they're expensive. I currently run just the pH Plus stuff
Shout out Sydney Reefing walking around in the background
Where?

@@daliuskesarauskas7464 they didn't although he told me you could do it manually so you could probably work it out with an Apex
@@ReefDork got it working through Apex, just made some rules, stop dosing Ph+ once ph hits 8.31 and then dose normal part1
@@ReefDork Great word "Think" 5 plus months in can you confirm ?
Only thing I hate about Reef elements is the amount of extra magnesium I need to dose to my system.
Same for me actually

I have to add extra Mag as well, so this is interesting.
👍
That looks very similar to the kamora reef master Spa
Wouldnt you say it looks more like the Kamoer KH Carer? The unit is made by Kamoer, hence the similarities 👍🏻
