Cant wait to see the videos on the refugium setup. Maybe u have mentioned this but, what test kits do you guys use?

[@WaterboxAquariums]

We use an assortment, but have primarily been using Hanna Checkers.

Why is it that Ecotech tests the Versa for thousands of hours without failure, but I have to replace my tubing every 2-3 months when using it to feed my Calcium reactor?

[@WaterboxAquariums]

The Versa's tubing is a wearable and replaceable part. Tubing lifespan will vary significantly depending on liquid chemical composition, liquid temperature, and operational mode of the pump. We recommend reaching out directly to EcoTech Marine if you need assistance with your Versa doser; you can reach them here: [e-mail]

@@WaterboxAquariums that is why I keep 4 spare tubing sets. I use it in push configuration at ph of 8. Not pulling low ph effluent through the pump.
