Anura is a new company which is aiming to put the sexy back in pH pens. To be fair, pH pens in the aquarium hobby have never been that sexy to begin with, because who gets excited about pH anyway? But in all seriousness, Anura’s product line only superficially resemble the pH pens of old and their functions have grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple of decades.
Most commercially available pH pens and checkers in the aquarium hobby are practically disposable at just $20 to $40, and they have a high variance in build, quality, and especially reliability. With their new line of digital water testers Anura is basically breaking the mold for pH pens with three models that each raise the bar for what these devices can do, and how long they should last.
First of all, they are all waterproof, kind of a handy feature to have around water don’t you think? Also, they each have replaceable probe tips so that you can easily swap out the sensors while keeping the body and brain of the Anura checkers.
The three models Anura will be launching soon include the pH50, an EC60, and the flagship EP70. ThepH50is a full-on modern take on the pH Pen with digital readout, temperature compensation, and 1, 2 or 3 point pH calibration for $120. TheEC60is a conductivity meter which is most suitable for testing the total dissolved solids and purity of freshwater before it goes into our aquariums, so less functionality for marine aquariums.
But the real gem in the Anura product line is definitely theEP70, a do it all checker which measures both pH, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity and TDS. This $200 digital chemist is the perfect companion for measuring the water quality of freshwater before it’s mixed into seawater, and checking the pH and salinity once the salt is completely dissolved.
已经很久了,因为我在家庭水族馆中使用了便宜的ph笔,但它们的知名度不足可能是由于它们在湿环境周围的脆弱性所致。因此,PH Pens在专业环境中更有用,例如测试大量水样或专业水族馆服务公司的鱼类商店。
Anura凭借其新的pH型测试机,有可能改变范式,因为目前在水族馆的爱好中没有其他类似的东西。我们期待有一天能看到和评估Anura产品系列,并希望设备能够真正发挥其潜力。[[Anura]
