Reefkeeper 2 - ph problem

[aaron23]

after finally getting the calibrations i'm stumped with another problem..

Whoever has a RK2 can you please explain why my ph probe in my tank water in a cup creeps down by .01 increments from 10... right now its at 5.50 and going down further....

Did you clean the probe off after each calibration?

 

[aaron23]

yes with ro water

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Is the unit new?

 

[aaron23]

brand spankin new

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Did you take the cap off the probe?

 

[aaron23]

yes i did and got squirted with the electrolyte fluid ..

Hopefully not in the eye.

Who did you get it from? I would either call them or digital aquatics directly for tech help.

How long did it take to go from 10 to 5.5?

How can your tank water have a ph of 10?? :tired:

Are you doing this in a basement?
