No, they quit selling it cause it’s a rip off! Your tank water is your calibration!Also it does not come with calibration fluid. However I always just test my water 3 times with my Hannah testers combine the three for an average and use my own water to calibrate.
Shame I can't get the pre-mixed stuff in the UK - and only the 5 x 6-months powder supply.. Guess im in for the long run anywayNo, they quit selling it cause it’s a rip off! Your tank water is your calibration!
I calibrate using salifert test kits and tank wire.I will definetly give it a go!
As for calibration, what do you do? I have a good stash of the Apex calibration liquids, I assume I can just use that?
Now, is there a way to increase just the Alk testing? I like to do more testing for Alk with out increasing the cal or magThere is a way to write a new code so it only tests 1 time a day.. there’s a thread around here about it if you’re handy like that! I just buy abc reagents since there much cheaper and let it do its thing. It’s like $46 or something for a 6 month supply.
I’m not sure… one of these IT gurus prolly could tell you how to code it haha!Now, is there a way to increase just the Alk testing? I like to do more testing for Alk with out increasing the cal or mag
No problem thank you.I’m not sure… one of these IT gurus prolly could tell you how to code it haha!
You should be able to do a custom setting and test as much as you want. there’s always the option to test now button as well.No problem thank you.
I've tried to look around for some info about how to do it but no luck
You just need to calibrate the probe to set it to the temperature you want. If you go to the screen that shows everything connected to your apex (sorry I don’t know what the screen is actually called) you can select probes, then press the gear beside the temperature probe. Then select to calibrate the probe and set the current temperature to whatever you want it reading.I have a question about the temp probe for the apex. It has said the temp is 85 degrees
since I have set it up. I don’t think that is right. My ink bird is reading 78 and so is a different thermometer, what should I do?
Yes you can adjust the schedule for them separately. There is one program for combined tests and one for alkalinity by itself. I have never done it myself so I won’t give directions for something I’ve never actually done, but here is a thread that explains it really well.Now, is there a way to increase just the Alk testing?

I calibrated it to the current temp of the tank but it is still reading 85You just need to calibrate the probe to set it to the temperature you want.

Since pictures are way better than my description these may help. Also, apparently it can only change by a certain amount so hopefully the 7 degrees you need isn’t over the limit, because that is a pretty huge difference.
