Do you have too low or too high pH in your reef tank? How do you know you're testing pH properly? Is there a difference between pH probes that you might not be catching? Today it's all about pH probes and what you might be leaving on the table by not considering these mistakes.
BRS Double Junction pH Probes. Yes, there is a difference.

As an I & C tech, Lab grade absolutely means something in my line of work. Our water treatment plant uses various grades of sensors. The Lab grade sensors are always more accurate and more robust. I'm sure some of these sensors used in our hobby are used in industrial applications as well.

Because of this video I realized I messed up in three steps. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Now I'm going to have to redo everything LOL

Thanks! I wish I saw this video before I purchased my Neptune apex system, and I’m afraid I messed up the calibration by using the calibration solution to calibrate the probe. Now I need to get more solution and separate the cables from high voltage cables.

The good news is that calibration solution is inexpensive. Just make sure you get both 7 and 10 solution.

I got a pH controllor and was having problems with it from new I used a liquid test kit salifert and that was in the right range then I noticed if I had the controllor near any other electrical equipment it gave different readings now it's nowhere near any electrical equipment and it's perfect messaged sellor it uses mv so like u say probe allso is not near any electrical equipment spot on dudes

Would you say one needs to replace the buffer solution after each check or calibration. How stable is that solution?

@GETBNT1 2 жыл бұрын

When talking about calibrating probes and probe life you don’t talk about mV and slope of probes. Putting a probe in a buffer to see if it needs to be calibration isn’t a good way to achieve this as the buffer will force the probe to read 7.01 etc

I had a scratch on my finger and i got zapped , its from the ph probe , is that normal ?

@BRStv 2 жыл бұрын

That's definitely not normal. This doesn't sounds like a pH probe issue, but rather another piece of equipment leaking voltage. A volt meter will help you identify which piece of equipment it is.

@@BRStv i don't know how to do it with a voltmeter . But i started unpluging stuff one by one while my finger is in the tank lol. When i unplug my nero 3 the zapping stops , same when i unplug the ph probe !

A video about that stuff would be nice .
