Hi guys, I have a new Seneye installed in my new tank and I have found that the PH reading to be lower than what it actually is most of the times.
When the tank was first setup, the salinity was just spot on and I didn't even bother to look at the PH. I was checking Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate. During the initial fishless cycle, I did all manual testing and my LFS sold me the seneye just before I was about to add the fish. I had set everything up as per instructions but my PH reading was around 7.2 to 7.3.
Took a water sample to the LFS and also did a manual test with my test kit and they all produced a result closer to 8. As I am writing this post, my PH according the seneye is 7.51 but I know it is much higher than that since I have been checking this everyday since adding the fish. I have tried to trim this on the computer, but the trim will only last for a few minutes and then it reverts back to the reading from the slide.
Unfortunately, I have not had this during the initial cycle so I can't comment on the Ammonia reading, but it has always been 0.001 since it was put in the tank. I feed the fish once a day and only have 7 fish in there at the moment. Hope this information will become useful to someone someday. Cheers
