Electronic Test Kits

[theFinn]

I've been browsing around the internet trying to find something, something I'm not sure exists.

I'd like to get some sort of electronic monitoring probe that can give a real-time (if possible) view of the amounts of ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites in my tank at any time.

I've been able to find electronic pH monitors, however I can't seem to find any other types of electronic testing devices. I'm guessing this is because they either don't exist or are far too expensive for any hobbist..anyone shed some light on this?

I haven't run across any of the three you mention. Personally, I don't see a need for the nitrite and ammonia. Once a tank is cycled, you shouldn't have any problems with them as long as you know what you are doing...

I can see a benefit in the nitrate however, especially in a planted tank.

If such a test exists, these guys:

should know. Maybe give them a call? If you do, report back here!

There are electonic meters that measure that stuff. Probably expensive though.
