The eXact iDip 570 Marine Starter Kit packages theeXact iDip photometerwith marine aquarium specific tests in one convenient bundle. As we mentioned when we first stumbled on the iDip at MACNA a few years back, this handheld photometer takes all the guesswork out of reading parameter test reagent colors. Plus with “smart” technology, this iDip can send the results to your iOS or Android device via Bluetooth.
With the app and your iDip, you can get free tests for basic pH, free chlorine, total chlorine, total alkalinity, but even though you are buying the marine starter kit all the additional test parameters will need to be purchased in the app and downloaded for $4.99 each or as a bundle (570 Marine Bundle) for $23.99.
尽管这没什么大不了的,但您会认为,捆绑包将包括应用程序参数测试作为包装的一部分,并以总成本进行通过。一旦解决了问题,您就可以利用套件中的测试条和试剂进行以下25个测试:硝酸盐,氨,钙硬度(超高范围),总硬度(超高范围),总碱度,磷酸盐和pH值,其范围扩大(5-9.6)非常适合盐水。
One useful part of the app is the ability to change the unit of measurement. The example used in the video below is the default setting for calcium is ppm for calcium carbonate (CaCO3), you can set it to grains per gallon (gpg), degrees of hardness (dGH), ppm (Ca), etc.
The iDip was designed for professional users you set up a main user and then set up tanks as “customers” to allow you to keep track of different systems all from one app. To make sure you keep an accurate record, after each test you will need to save the data to a customer and tank.
For professional users, one nice feature is each test logs the date, time and GPS location of the test allowing you to track the when and where of each test. You can also share the data by email, text message, upload to Facebook or Twitter and even store it in the cloud.
Overall, considering how much we drop on other equipment in the aquarium, an accurate and easy to use photometer test kit is a pretty solid investment. The Marine Starter Kit will set you back $339.99 and the iDip alone runs $189.99.
Test kits start around $5 and up, with most around the $10-$20 range. Beyond whats in the kit you can also test for nitrite, ozone, iron, manganese, copper, and a few others. A refill box of the Marine test runs around $115 and gives you 100 tests for total alkalinity and 50 tests for nitrate, calcium hardness (ultra-high range), total hardness (ultra-high range), total alkalinity, phosphate, pH-BT ad and 25 for ammonia.
从总价看,如果您不介意没有大塑料盒,则可以通过获得IDIP和Marine Refill套件来获得IDIP和更多试剂。
