AquaWiz in the coral farm of Tom's Corals
Welcome back to Tom's Corals. This video is about the AquaWiz, an innovative device for automated KH measurement. Carbonate hardness is one of the most critical parameters in a saltwater aquarium and plays a key role in the growth and health of corals. Fluctuations can be particularly stressful for sensitive SPS like Acropora. This is precisely where the AquaWiz comes in: It measures reliably and precisely, completely without reagents. This makes it not only low-maintenance but also capable of dosing, significantly improving stability in the aquarium.
In the video, I explain why KH measurement is so important, the disadvantages of traditional systems like Reefbot, KH Director, or KH Keeper, and why the AquaWiz has become a real game-changer for us at the farm. You'll gain insights into its functionality, installation, and our experiences during operation. I'll also show you how we use the device to keep our corals' supply stable and the advantages it offers compared to other methods.
This video is an exciting addition for anyone interested in marine aquariums, coral care, and reef aquarium technology. Let me know in the comments if you've already had experience with automated KH testers or if you still rely on traditional handheld measurements.
