Electronic Testers

So I am thinking of the Pinpoint PH test kit. I just can't use the PH test tubes any more, I have trouble with the shades of Purple.

Question is, is this the best way to go , or is there a controller that can be added to for future test probes ?


Cheers

 

I am kinda color blind so I have problems with kits like that too. A pH controller or a pH monitor will give you realtime pH readings if that is what you are asking but you do have to calibrate them from time to time.

 

I bought this one and I am very happy with it.

Yes thanks.
But also, I have seen pictures of controller boxes here on the reef and I would have guessed that it was a box that you could plug different probes into. Kind of like mission control. It would be something you could expand on over time. Or maybe not, just wanted to check befor buying a single probe.

Hey thanks, never seen this one. I can't shop on Ebay so maybe I can find it at a store front somewhere. I like the price for sure. If you say it works well that even better.


Cheers

 

Why can't you use ebay?

 

Used it once years back, got my CC grabbed and had to deal with that whole thing. Swore off Paypal and Ebay after that.

 

That stinks. I have used it quite a bit. You have to be careful but it seems to be somewhat safe these days. Just Never answer an incoming e-mail from eBay or Paypal. Delete it and then go to the site directly to see if that sent you a communication.

 

I use something like this..
pHep®5 Waterproof pH tester: Premium Aquatics


but if you want to have something you can expand on, like pH, ORP, temp and whatnot, you could go with something like this..
Neptune Aquacontroller JUNIOR Backlight + temp probe + Serial Port + DC8: Premium Aquatics

 

+1 on that. Had a lighthouse controller and just upgraded last week to a Netune Aquacontroller III. I love it and you can expand about as far as you want to.
