I've had better luck with Milwakee stuff, but I'm not sure what they cost. They just seem more consistant to me. But I don't use a PH probe on the reef tank, just a planted tank with CO2.

I use Milwaukee Instruments, as well. Really, any of them work reasonably well if you calibrate them on a regular basis (bad about that myself). Some can be slower in registering and stabilizing a reading as well as accuracy drifting and drift frequency, etc. But like I said, if you calibrate often, you can stay on top of most of that.

Huh, I knew the spelling was wrong, but I couldn't figure out why.

It's been a rough week.

I hear you, Sue

. I am right there with you *sigh*. Not only that, it went by slowly, as well (at least for me).
