Mindstream Aquarium Monitoring System

It would seem. Lots of pretty pictures and touting features, but nothing from them regarding updates. Social media goes a long way in generating interest, but it's a double-edged sword. If you don't interact with the "fans" when the ask questions (many release date questions ignored), they lose interest. Eventually, the company finds their "reach" on facebook is less than 5% of their fanbase and no one knows about the product when it actually launches.

I'm skeptical, but keeping my fingers crossed this actually gets released.
 
If a company invented something that would accurately test all these items and send the data to for instance your Apex, I would pay easily over $500 for it.
 
You guys did not get my sarcasm.

Anyone following Vertex Cerebra, would know they been promising a product for the pass 3 years, and its coming out every quarter since then.

I really do not think it will be reliable data, other then maybe taking median average over time, could show you the direction of a certain parameter.

You guys really think a $600 unit will replace like $50,000 in continuous monitoring equipment?

Lets just hope they don't do what seneye did and reduce the time for card replacements to improve accuracy and then stick ya with disabling the unit at that time.. Heh
 
btw do they ever interact with hobbyists on priority of test items? like who cares about ammonia, and o2, how come po4 was not on that long list? anyone paid attention to that list in the first post? but anyway, if that thing tests one thing and one thing only, alk, i'll buy it if it comes out before i quit this hobby
 
It's too bad they announced it too early IMO, still would LOVE one of these though.

I just hope they're spending all of this time putting every component through the ringer to make a really solid product.

"œThank you everyone for continuing to check in on our progress with MindStream! We recently raised another round of capital towards continuing our R&D efforts and advancing us much closer to launching our product. We have now developed and built more sophisticated testing and validation chambers. We also now have in our labs new state-of-the-art CO2 and pH instruments (oceanographic grade) so we can validate the high analytical sensitivity, absolute accuracy, resolution, low drift and detection capabilities of our water monitors. We are also very pleased to report we have resolved a challenging issue with humidity infiltration through the plastics we had originally used for our monitors. Stay tuned for the upcoming launch of our new Web site in a week or two. The MindStream team."

If this ever launches and is accurate - it could be a big game changer...
 
Im just going to lump this into the same category as the alk monitor from years past.

Just another front to raise money with broken promises. Been hearing 2 weeks for what, 2 years now?
 
They're holding focus groups this week. I have one tonight, so I'm looking forward to hearing what kind of things they are looking to improve upon.
