The new-$39.95-Hana phosphate-photomete

[JARRETT SHARK]

was looking to buy one but want to here the pros and cons?
I just dont want to waste $39.99 and regret not buying the $150 one that has good reveiws already.

iv got one on order. ill put up some feed back after i get to play with it a lil bit.

 

[motortrendz]

i still cant get over that video.. sorry off topic.. i just stare at it going wow, over and over..thats gotta suck..

 

[18oreefer]

that does have to suck but since it aint me im laughing my ass off. p.s. still havent received my meter, more when i do.

 

[Awibrandy]

Jarrett, I got mine, and after playing with it a little I can tell you I like it. Also since you are not that far from me, you can always swing by, and check it out in person before you commit.

 

[Harif87]

I definitely want to hear if its worth it... if so this is BIG lol

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

thanks AWI
is it a pain to use??
how accurate do you think your reading is??
Anyway bringing it to the swap to play around?

 

[JimmyR1rider]

Can it really be that accurate? Am just askin guys- I mean their normal one is $250. How do they then put one out thats $40 and have it be nearly as accurate? I hope it is will make getting TRUE phos. readings possible for many of us that cant afford the big meter.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

i want it so bad but need more reveiws!!!!!!
so lets go people!!

Send TB Aquatics a Pm,Why not put out a cheaper version?Not everyone has 250.00 to spend on PO4 readings.If you're keeping SPS corals then it might be worth it.

I 100% agree ZANY I just know not many companies will put the same attention to detail for less than 1/5 the money without being afraid to lose sales of the expensive high end product they sell. I hope they would- would be a nice thing

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

anyone else??

 

[isgon26]

I will have some hopefully this week. Ill let you know how it works. Ill have a few of them.

 

[tomtoothdoc]

i am a bit skeptical about this. why would a company undersell their own product? we're not talking about 20-30% less, it's almost 78% less. if it were a different company undercutting the competitor, it would make a little more sense.
some may suggest volume may make a difference.... it may be easier to sell 4.5 units at 40 than one at 180?.....well i don't know.

 

[Awibrandy]

They are probably banking on the skeptics to keep the sales on the expensive one going.LOL
I happen to like this little one very much.

No - I will not be bringing it to the swap w/me. Knowing me I will forget it there, I am not willing to take the chance.;(
Jarrett, I told you you're welcomed to come by the house, and check it out.
