pH monitor...Does anyone have this ?

[S!mon]

I need a pH meter because I'm tired of guessing (spent $80 on a La Mote test kit). I'm wondering if anyone here hhas this unit and if they have anything good to say about it. Thanks.http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produ...ll&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&N=2004&Nty=1

yes i do have it. i ordered it from marine depot.
it came with two calibration fluids. you use them with
the probe while using a small screwdriver, which it also
came with, to make sure you are callibrated.

mine came completely calibrated.. but i played with it
anyway till i was satisfied i saw how it worked.

i then mounted the unit on a shelf after putting batteries in it.
the probe stick in my tank 24 horus a day non stop. it is rather
cool watching as you turn your lights off and the ph slowly goes
down. no guessing! but i have test kits anyway, and they are always
close.

it is a good buy!

i wish the nitrate and the salinity tester were as good.
the reviews on them are awful.

is there any other pinpoint gear that is known to be solid
as a rock like their ph monitor?

takin over the thread!

So everything needed for calibration comes with the unit ?

i have it, calibrate it once a month with the 7 and 10 fluid..............works great

i have it too. i dont remember if it came with the calibration fluid but the fluid is very cheap. i would get more fluid for future cabliration too, stock up on a handful of 7.0 and 10.0 fluids. this is a good monitor, reliable and easy to use.

Thanks for the input guys. Ordered one today with extra calibration solution.
