Mindstream Aquarium Monitoring System

I think the disks are aiming around $30 each so $10/month. For me thats worth the hour a week i spend on testing alone! I would imagine they will put some kind of API to integrate into Apex or Profilux but i bet it will be just slaving of results and nothing more.
The trend analysis this will provide will be unique and will be nice to have real time monitoring for parameter tolerances.

And I believe they're all on a single disc, so the whole disk is replaced each time. But not all parameters use the disc for measurement.

Also I heard $20 US for a disc, can't remember where though

The real time monitoring of parameters is the best part.

I think the real power will lie in coordinating with a controller and dower. Imagine dosing Ca and Mg and Alk based on real time readings. That will offer great stability of parameters.

That sounds to me like a version 2.0 feature... the real-time data itself will be enough to make the adjustments yourself, but it would be nice to be automatic for sure.

This is for sure game changing. TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!
