Mindstream - anybody here try the prototype?

Looks to good to be true, but I hope they can really create this at a reasonable price point. It didn't get all the kickstarter funds it was looking for but appears they are still working on it.

Time will tell. Each time they have been asked for data, they dodge the question. I'd love a full working version and think the price point they originally set (~$800) for a constant test of a lot of major elements is right on...if it works. From what I read, their MACNA presentation kind of fell flat. I also think they need to come out with multiple kits, at different price points, to entice reefers with less funds to slowly buy in and add on other tests later. And the idea that a subscription is needed to VIEW your test results on their cloud, seems excessive since at the initial buy, I've already dropped a grand on the product, and a years worth of testing discs.

All in all...if it works, 100% as they have advertised, I'm in!

 

is there a reason it doesn't test phosphates nitrites nitrates? Its cool that it tests all these parameters but why not the basics? Also seems too good to be true and you have to get automatic relievers to get a reasonable price on the replacement discs

I was one of the $1000+ beta tester bidders. I really want this to work. The fact that I have heard very little since it failed worry a me in one sense. In another however, I have to believe they took it as a lesson on their marketing plan (and the lack of nitrate/phosphate) and are making improvements before coming back to market.

 

Wow, obviously out of my league with prices like this, and needing new disks Q 30 days, etc.

I'm out- as if I made a difference anyways
