from what i have found on other forums there is supposed to be an add on sometime soon so that it will measure nitrate/nitrate/kh/chlorine. But wanting to see some user reviews before i get one. Or maybe just i should just wait for the D.A. Lifeguard to come out as it looks similar but without the subscription requirements.

i have been looking at this device for a while too now, still contemplating about getting it
my friend in the uk has one and says it is really really good, besides the subscription issue and the cost of replacing the cards (the water measurements) its actually cheaper both in the shortrun and longrun
i might pick one up soon and will let you know how it goes (actually by next week maybe)

I do see much use for most of it but $189 for a par meter ain't to shabby. If it's accurate seems well worth for that aspect alone.

That should say I don't see much use for most of it.

i got in touh with my buddy and he has some more info
the par meter is accurate
he has a neptune apex as well and has compared the readings between the two devices and they are similar with an error of 0.5 at times
he prefers the seneye because it has a prediction module which tells you if you need to get on a water change or if your ammonia is rising
i think its a worth it investment

it's the $8 per month that holds it back for me as well as leaving that 'usb stick' thingy in my display tank.

Each slide lasts for 30 days, so 12 slides will suffice for 1 year.

It works great, except near the tail end of the 30 days the PH gets over-saturated and readings are high. I have a PH Probe right next to the Seneye to keep things in check. I emailed Seneye and they mentioned to keep checking for updates in software as the version I had was older and needed an update to resolve the issue. It sort of fixed the issue with a manual adjustment of 0.3 PH, however they mentioned that this issue will be totally resolved without any adjustment of the software.

Other than that, it's a GREAT product!

I'd only wish there was some sort of USB Wifi transmitter available so it could connect to my wifi without the use of a computer. They suggested the Belkin Home Base, however it is discontinued and not available. I have tried a few other devices such as a Wireless USB Hub, but that didn't work either. For now, it is connected to a spare netbook that I have kicking around.
