Seneye Pond

 

Ever found you have lost a Koi but didn’t know why? Have your had a pond leak, but found out too late? Seneye Pond makes it easy for you to monitor your pond and protect your fish. The seneye can guard fish from the devastating effects of ammonia poisoning, as well as harmful swings in pH and temperature. The Intelligent software automatically monitors the pond day and night, alerting the you before there is a problem — the ultimate in stress-free fish keeping. As the seneye devices are USB there are multiple connection options available. Place the seneye directly in a filter or float it in a pond. Use the Active Extension accessory and increase the cable length to a massive 17.5m. Or go WiFi from the start so you can monitor your pond condition remotely. The seneye Pond is suitable for any sized pond. Ideal for customers, who want to continually monitor the water in their pond and dont want to undertake timeconsuming manual testing. :

 

  • Seneye automatically tests multiple life critical parameters.
  • Compatible with any sized pond
  • Easy to install, simply float in your pond or place inside filter
  • Constantly watching, alerts you before there is a problem
  • Get alerts however you want; flashing lights, e-mail, SMS*
  • Upload results to Internet and get straightforward advice*
  • USB connection with multiple connection options, including optional USB power adaptor
*Ammonia and pH monitoring require seneye+. Seneye + is a disposible test slide which lasts for 30 days and allows the monitoring of the pH and Ammonia parameters

 

Requirements for Seneye Pond:
  • Windows PC with a wired or wireless network and TCP/IP protocol, Windows XP, Vista 32-/64-bit, Windows 7 32-/64bit.

The data uploads will be automatic which will make them faster and more stable, there are also a few additional alerts such as power (or lost connection) monitoring. The seneye web server will upload the data from your seneye pond device without the need for a pc. You will then be able to view all your readings from a computer (pc/mac), tablet or smart phone from anywhere in the world via the seneye cloud.

 

Seneye will constantly monitor:-

  • Temperature : Constantly monitors water temperature, so you can get an alert if your heater breaks
  • Free Ammonia: Monitors the highly toxic free ammonia (NH3) at very low levels, so you can stop your fish from dying from Ammonia posioning.
  • pH monitoring: The seneye monitors pH in your pond water between 6.4 and 9. This range is ideal for most aquatic life and by monitoring this range increased accuracy has be achieved.
  • Water level: Water Level readings are only taken when the seneye device is in water, no false readings.

Microscopes

 

The Binocular model is recommended for people who require the performance of a professional microscope at a very realistic price. It has a 6volt, 20 watt quartz halogen illumination with rheostat control for optimum illumination. The field lens has integral daylight blue filtration. Like our monocular models, it comes with a mechanical stage and vernier for fine slide adjustment. Specification includes x 10 wide field eyepieces and x 4, x 10, and x100 achromatic objectives with numerical apertures of 0.1,0.25,0.65 and 1.25 respectively.

 

 These professional microscopes come complete with carrying case and starter pack of slides. They have a range of 3 magnifications to suit all requirements. The Monocular comes with its own mechanical stage and slide holder to provide the necessary fine adjustment to slide movement and also comes complete with its own aluminium case. Magnification range x 50 - x 800. Also now features inbuilt lamp for specimen illumination. As if that's not enough you also get a fish parasite identification kit thrown in! The identification Kit contains: slides, cover slips, mountants, stains, specimen tubes, gill swabs, skin scrapers, pipettes and step by step instructions. No previous experience of microscope use or slide preparation required. Both units utilise spring loaded front lenses and have both coarse and fine adjustment for optimum focus.

 We also now offer a mini digital video camera that fits into the viewing eyepiece of any of our microscopes, whether monocular or binocular. The minicam is connected directly to an external USB port of any PC or Laptop operating Windows 98 (second edition) and above - N.B. not suitable for Windows 95 or 3.1. The cameras come complete with software, transformer and USB connection lead. The minicam offers high resolution with an image size of 583 x 438 pixels that is TWAIN compliant and can be imported directly into any image processing software. Watch those nasty little parasites on your PC screen live!

 

 

Monocular Microscope Kit

 

This super new microscope has all the features as standard that you would normally only find on much more expensive microscopes. It has objectives x 4, x 10 x 40 and x 100. The eyepiece is x 10 which means this unit can magnify up to 1000 times with the x 10 eyepiece which is enough to clearly identify not only ALL cold water parasites, but many bacteria strains as well. It is also equipped with a mechanical stage with slide clips for fine sample movement. Full sub stage condenser and iris. Inbuilt rheostat controlled sample illumination built in. (Spare bulb included) It also has spring loaded lenses to prevent lens damage on contact with the sample platform. As an option there is a beautiful aluminium carrying case to complete the kit. Also included as standard is a fish disease diagnostic kit (see below for details). Fantastic value for money and we think the best available anywhere in the market at present.

Digital Water Quality Testing system

 

At last, we are able to offer our customers a truly professional water testing system.

 

The Palintest portable photometer system is a sophisticated and very accurate device which enables the koi keeper to precisely monitor the condition of the pond water.

 

The instrument uses digital colourimetry, long recognised as the most accurate method of determining the levels of many common and some not so common substances that may be present in pond or fresh water supplies.

 

Digital colourimetry is the method used by water companies up and down the country to accurately monitor water conditions and this technology has now been incorporated into a range of portable instruments.

 

But not only is this instrument extremely accurate, as it utilises a number of different light wavelengths , it can monitor up to 37 different water parameters, including aluminium, copper, zinc, phenols, chlorine, Chloramine, and phosphate as well as the basic necessities of ammonia, nitrite and pH. 37 different tests performed by one instrument, and it does not matter if your pond water is cloudy, green or contains medications, since the instrument calibrates every test sample against your pond water first. No more visual interpretation of colour - no possibility for errors.

 

The new 7100 photometer now automatically selects the correct wavelength and displays the results in mg/l directly on the large LCD display.

 

To demonstrate the accuracy of this unit, it can measure ammonia levels in water down to 0.01 mg/litre, and it will register the presence of this and many other pollutants whilst a normal test kit tells you the water is safe.

 

Without doubt the most accurate and flexible water testing system available to the koi keeper anywhere! A bold claim - but one which is easy to demonstrate.

 

We all invest considerable sums in our koi, and we all know that the most important single factor in keeping our koi healthy is water quality. Now for the first time, koi keepers everywhere can accurately and precisely monitor virtually all of the important water parameters which really matter.

 

This instrument could be the best investment in the koi hobby you could ever make.

 

Price includes next day delivery.

 

Test your tap water, we know you won't be surprised at what you find - but, test the output from your cartridge water purifier - we think you might be surprised at what you find - whatever the claims!
