I'm looking for a good long lasting meter to measure my PH/TDS/EC. So far the best thing I have found is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250366495603

Anyone have experience with this meter? Is it worth the money? If not are there any suggestions?

I recently purchased this one. Very nicely priced @ $26.25 and I received it 3 days from when I placed the order!

So far it has worked great - don't know how I go through my previous harvests w/o one of these.

That looks very nice and very affordable, what about a decent PH meter though??

I've been using the same pack of PH strips for quite sometime - my tap water is a perfect 5.5 every time and GH Flora nutes really do maintain balance.
Only time I check for PH is when I sense trouble and it always turns out to be high PPM.
