The link is not working.

What are you looking to get a pH meter and a TDS meter?
You can get a TDS meter for about $12 at Walmart or on line, it does not need to be made by Hanna to be accurate.
You can get a Hanna pH Checker for about $35

I didn't know they where that cheap. The meter I was looking at was all in one. Do you think the Ph meter is accurate?

You don't need to take out a loan for everything in reefing ;)

Yes, even an inexpensive TDS meter is accurate. For a pH meter, you will need to calibrate it every now and then, but that will guarantee that it stays accurate. Can you buy more expensive ones...sure, but they aren't a necessity!

Thats good to know.

After the lectures yesterday. I feel like I should be using a TDS meter to check my water quality.

Great that you went to the lectures - a of of great info is shared at those!

A TDS meter is the ONLY way you know what is coming out of your ro/di and when it is time to change the filters :)
