The Alkatronic is an all-in-one device that automatically monitors and maintains carbonate hardness values of your aquarium throughout the day. It can dramatically simplify and improve how we manage the KH parameters of a reef tank.
Version 2 - Quiet Kit Already Installed
IMPORTANT: iOS or Android App Required (Android requires Bluetooth 4.2 or above)
Alkatronic is an all-in-one product for serious reefers to monitor and stabilize alkalinity for your reef system automatically. The standalone product works straight out of the box without additional dosing pumps, computers, or other equipment.
The Alkatronic automatically monitors the alkalinity (KH) in your tank and corrects any deviations within the user's settled reference intervals by dosing carbonates from its dosing pump.
Calcium Reactor users can benefit from precise control over the CO2 to the Ca reactor through a Bluetooth Smart Outlet* controlled by Alkatronic. If the dKH is below the set value, this outlet will be on and let the pH controller control the calcium reactor. If the value rises above, it will override the standard regulatory equipment and shut off the CO2 until the dKH is back within range.
Alkalinity is a means of quantifying the stability of pH in aquarium water. It measures the concentration of various negatively charged ionic compounds (anions) such as carbonates, bicarbonates, borate, and hydroxides in the aquarium water. Although a simple and affordable test, user error and time are taken out of the equation so that one can rest assured that their reef aquarium is safe and stable.
Alkalinity maintenance is a critical aspect of coral reef aquarium husbandry. If left unchecked, alkalinity can drop below a necessary level, and pH begins to fluctuate more wildly than the suggested daily pH shift of +/-0.2 for marine aquaria, causing stress to livestock. In a saltwater aquarium, the desired alkalinity is usually between 7° and 10° dKH (German Carbonate Hardness).
The Alkatronic makes it possible to monitor the buffering capacity and automatically manage KH levels of your aquarium water in a simple all-in-one device.
* Bluetooth Smart Outlet is not included with the package and is sold separately.
