Seneye Reef

jharding08 · 04/08/2016, 11:40 AM

Looking for a par meter and for the price the Seneye claims to measure PAR, LUX, Kelvin and PUR.

I'd love to be able to confirm I have my LEDs at 20K.

Has anyone used this with success? BRS claims that the PAR readings are close to $1000 meters

Any reviews?

Also I read that the company is planning on including hardness, NO3, NO2 testing to future models. Any word on that and if I'd have to buy a new one with this functionality?

Now myself I am somewhat interested in the seneye for the light meter alone, that being said this product has been out for quite some time(years) and they have been promissing the other parameters since the begining and have never delievered on any of them.

do we know if they will incorporate into an existing meter or will they roll out (and make us buy) a different one?

I bought one just for light meter and it seems to work well for that purpose. I can't see using for any other reason. I don't leave it in tank, I attached it to a stick and run par readings once in a while.

Has anyone compared it with another par meter for accuracy.

BRS did, it's mostly at the end of their LED video - https://youtu.be/V7XLgLiA0PM?t=1805

I have one of these meters and I love it. I use it to test par. I don't worry too much about spectrum because I use Kessils which always have the correct spectrum no matter what color option you choose.

I own a Seneye.

They have been promising this since 2012/2013. It's not coming
