- After using this game-changing piece of kit for around a year I thought it's about time I did a review video of the Reef Kinetics Reefbot Auto Water Testing Machine. If you hate water testing then this is a video for you. #ReefBot #AaronsAquarium

Fantastic video - with 2 tanks testing consumes my Saturday mornings (with extra adhoc tests during the week). I will definitely be checking this out. Thanks
Bit of an update.
Had mine running for 3 days testing
Red Sea ALK
Red Sea pro PO4
API Nitrate
API Calcium
Red Sea Pro Mag
Verdict so far - superb bit of kit.
Read a few mixed reviews but it’s a well designed product with a very handy and easy to use App.
The vial rail was slightly bent on delivery and within an hour Reef Kenetics were giving me a solution via the support app. So far so good hopefully will be my fave bit of reef kit.
Do you know how long it could run on reagents like that I mean longer than three days???
Amazing. The "tech" in this hobby just keeps getting better. Can't imagine what it would be like 10-20 years time.
Thank will probably just run themselves by then lol.
@@AaronsAquarium well that's no fun. Lol
You have the GHL ION director coming out shortly. It will be interesting to see how effective and if they are able to add another test to the probe if they do. I feel this technology, using a probe could be a gamechanger although people must remember, probes are likely to need replacement on a regular basis. It may be more expensive than reagents over a period of time. Then again you can probably get more frequent tests done in that time.
Great video! Thanks for putting this out! Do you dose saltwater back into the tank to compensate for removed water? Probably a more relevant question for a nano than a tank the size of yours.
As you said my tank is large so it doesn't really impact the tank, no more than the skimmer anyway. The Salinity is checked weekly and compensated for when required 😁👍🏽
Cheers for great video 1st decent one I’ve seen about the Reefbot.
I have read there’s a lot of poor reviews ref this product that have been removed from forums. Nice to see it’s working for you 👍
Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍
😁👍🏽
Thank you again for this video, I'm planning to buy one, where is the discount code?
Sir!!! Use the redsea kH test. It only uses one slot. So you dont have to swap po4 for no3 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What is the advantage of this machine if we compared with sensor based test system ? ( Like ph sensor , TDS sensor etc . In that case don't have to use any reagent )
HI Aaron, I am wanting one of these, is the discount code still applicable? Appreciate its now 12 months on lol. Also have they improved it at all so it links automatically to a dosing machine so that the doser increases / reduces the required amounts?
Where does the waste water go when it cleans the needle after each test?
Could you use Red Sea Alk test since it only uses 1 reagent?
Yeah! I've only just found out about that one.
Amen
does it auto does, i.e connect with Apex and the dos modules to auto dose
Could you use this to test for pH?
I’d like to know how has your unit been reef bot has it been consistent I have had two now had to return them under warranty because they just won’t work.
Think is is a better buy than a apex unit?
Whats the warranty and what's the maintenance like ?
are you still using the Reef Kinetics ReefBot. would you recommend it or do you know of a better unit
I love to sit down of an evening and do my tests. My fish watch me do them lol.
😁👍🏽
It looks cool but after it tests 8 different chemicals I'm sure the small vile of rodi water for cleaning is also contaminated. Even only with one run but idk nor do I know if it would mattter. Does it purge itself? Where are all the input and outputs?
Yes it purges itself. It cleans the needle 3 times after each movement. Inputs and outputs as shown in the video.
@@AaronsAquarium Thanks man! Shows how good I was watching 😅
I think your temping me to buy one 😮
Do you buy directly from supplier or a uk stockist?
I think you can get them in the UK or you can go directly if not.
Will you sell your old one? Im colourblind and it drives me nuts testing even with the apps to help lol
No this will be going on another tank I thinking of setting up. That's why I have 2.
Shut the front door. I'm sold. What cloud dosser do you use? I imagine with a bit of coding the bot can communicate with the dosers and dosing will soon be automated also. What a game changer
I use the EKoral doser.
@@AaronsAquarium why that one. How does it compare to ecotech versa or any others. Not seen that brand before
What make is your tank looks great
It's a custom Acrylic tank by Custom Reef Aquariums 😁👍🏽
Where did you buy it from?
I’m still yet to find an explanation on how it actually collects the test data from the test chamber to be sent to your phone. Does a camera discern the colour of the solution?
There's an optical eye on the test chamber the scans the colours as we would and when the colour changes, that's the result it sends. I did mention that in the video.
@@AaronsAquarium Cheers, I missed that.
I'm on lol
In the video you hear the washing machine running hhhh
what size tank do you have and do you have a link for it?
My tank is custom built by a Company Called Custom Reef Aquariums it 4ft x 2.5ft x 2ft tall.
@@AaronsAquarium its beautiful
Reefbot or Ion direct?
Nice video but i guess a full demo of it working and testing in real time will be much better.
As I mentioned in the video tests can take 40 minutes plus. No one would sit through that.
@@AaronsAquarium for 1 test only? Sorry i skiped trough the video to see it actualy working:(
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
😁👍🏽
Am I being daft or could you not just swap out the KH test you're using for the Red Sea PRO KH test kit, it uses a single liquid, leaving you with an additional free space for your nitrates test ;)
What doser do you use
It's called the EKoral doser.
@@AaronsAquarium would you recommend
Hi
I read so much bad rewievs about this products that it isn't accurate... Don't now what to do
They came out with version 2. Wonder how much better it is
I'll buy your old bot brother
dude where in the world happen to Aaron?
What happened to the videos bro?
Looks like a laboratory
😁👍🏽
T think the PC brand should thank you
Code expired already??
It's fixed now.
Good item, shame about the price though :/
Not a test tube it’s a measuring cylinder 😂
Would you own one if you wasn't given one?
I bought mine. I bought one of the first ones available.
@@AaronsAquarium To expensive and I love doing my tests
26mins and we dont even get to see it run. Would have been nice to actually see it in action.
As I mentioned in the video tests can take 40 minutes plus. No one would sit through that. Check out my Instagram I do quick clips and real time updates over there.
@@AaronsAquarium Well thank you anyways, you opened up my eyes on a great product! I for sure will be considering buying it thanks to you.
40mins ok...... Speed up the video hello?
reefkenetic website accepts the discount code but you cant buy it as they won't ship to uk? fraustrating
Try this. www.reefkinetics.com/product/reefbot-for-uk-early-adopters/
@@AaronsAquarium Bingo thanks!... Ordered
The Coupon Code is expired. And the video just got uploaded.
Oops! Guess I'll check back tomorrow to see if they've fixed that.
It's fixed now
It's fixed now
What page can I use the code on
Good bit of kit but way over priced imo
Why didn't you show some demostration instead of speaking continuously for about 26 minutes
Just sent mine back will never buy anything from ReefKinetics again!
Daniel Barratt why?
Broke on fourth test, customer service was non existent had to send it back to shop as ReefKinetics just wasn’t interested.
