So I've been using my neighbors ph meter and would like to pick up my own as well as a ppm meter but am unsure where to start. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
I've used pH meters for years...my advice: get one good one and 1-2 cheapos....It helps to check them against each other, and calibrate as needed.... if you can't afford a top of the line bluelab or whatever, then get a decent Hanna or Milwakee and a couple of the $10 yellow ones...also get some storage solution and 4.0,7.0 & 10 calibration packets
I missed this: hell yeah...but IMHO I think people are chasing the wrong param; what you are really concerned with is O2 and the amount of dissolved O2 in water...there is a easily understood direct relation between water temp and O2 (many, many charts, et) ...you can get away with higher temps if you got good turbulence and air/water mixing (but only to a point) .and while I'm at it; make sure whatever means you use to keep the water aerated is reliable and checked OFTEN ...my personal poref is powerheads, but to each his own (IMHO airstones are playin with fireShould I be concerned with my reservoir temp?
Could you give more info on this ,ie cost and how to use this .If you use humic acid you dont need a ph metter. It stops lockouts. From ph 5- 7.5
