Mastertronic
Measures PO4 / NO3 / Ca / Mg / NO2/ dKH* / OLI / NH3 / I / Fe / NO3 COMP
Mastertronic is an auto tester which performs the most important water tests with a push of a button or based on defined schedules. The ability to perform tests will yield live data and much more accurate results as water chemistry can change over time or even hours.
Dimension: 31.5 (L) x 22.5 (W) x 35.0 (H) cm
Mastertronic Essential
Measures PO4 / NO3 / Ca / Mg / dKH*
Mastertronic Essential, is capable of testing the true essentials of a reef system and this includes alkalinity, nitrate, phosphate, calcium, and magnesium, with the ability to test all these elements, the Aquarist will not need multiple machines and that will save precious cabinet space, less maintenance, consistent water sample volume and most importantly cost savings, along with the ability to perform tests will yield live data and much more accurate results as water chemistry can change over time or even hours.
What Mastertronic tests for
Phosphate (PO4)Accuracy / Precision (+/-): 0.01 mg/l / 0.005 mg/l.
Phosphate is part of the nutrient equation of a reef tank. It is important to keep it at an optimal range (0.05 – 0.1 mg/l). Too high or too low can cause imbalance and lead to coral bleaching or increased algae growth and eventually killing the corals in the system.
Calcium (Ca) Accuracy / Precision (+/-): 6 mg/l / 6 mg/l.
These are the building blocks for the reef system and reefers aim to achieve a balanced level together with alkalinity. These two elements reacts slower than alkalinity and therefore regular measurements of Ca and Mg 2-3 times a week with keeping it in par will be sufficient but it is important to keep the BIG 3 (KH, Ca, Mg) in balance to achieve good growth and coloration.
Magnesium (Mg) Accuracy / Precision (+/-): 20 mg/l / 20 mg/l
These are the building blocks for the reef system and reefers aim to achieve a balanced level together with alkalinity. These two elements reacts slower than alkalinity and therefore regular measurements of Ca and Mg 2-3 times a week with keeping it in par will be sufficient but it is important to keep the BIG 3 (KH, Ca, Mg) in balance to achieve good growth and coloration.
Alkalinity (dKH) Accuracy / Precision (+/-) 0.1 dKH / 0.05 dKH.
Alkalinity (dKH) is the main element that is fast changing in a matter of hours. Just by monitoring dKH, you can know if other equipment is functioning correctly or not.
1) Calcium Reactor pump failing
2) Doser not running correctly
3) Lights not turned on (lights triggers dKH consumption)
4) Unbalanced of other elements (Mg/Ca)
OLI stands for (Organic Level Index) and is derived by Focustronic and is only available in Mastertronic. This measures the yellowness of the water in the system and gives a trend. When level is higher than normal, it indicates the tank may require some maintenance such as water and/or carbon change.
Iron (Fe)* Accuracy / Precision (+/-) 0.005 mg/l / 0.005 mg/l
Nitrate (NO3)Accuracy / Precision (+/-) : 0.5 mg/l / 0.1 mg/l.
Nitrate being an important parameter with keeping stable nutrients in a reef system. When tested at same time of the day, it is a good indicator if nitrate gets out of balance. There are different rules with the ratio between N and P and with regular automated testing, this can be achieved easily.
Iodine (I)* Accuracy / Precision (+/-) 0.01 mg/l / 0.01 mg/l
Ammonia (NH3) Accuracy / Precision (+/-) 0.01 mg/l / 0.01 mg/l
Nitrite is a good parameter to track when a new system is in the cycling stage.
Focustronic All in One App (AIO)
The dashboard of the AIO app shows the user the latest records of tests from the Mastertronic, Alkatronic and even light schedule of the Solartronic. A simple and intuitive view of the system’s current state.
Schedule your tests
Each parameter has its own page for all the controls based on the parameter. Setting a pre-defined schedule for each parameter and automated actions with Dosetronic, Powertronic, and even Solartronic. Powerful yet simple to use.
