Hello all,
I was wondering how you all test your pH? I have been using the hanna handheld and it's OK and all but I always have to re-calibrate everytime I use it.
What do you all use? any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks All

I use the pH probe that comes with the apex. I calibrate the probe with 7.01 and 10.01 solutions from Milwaukee.

I wasn’t a big fan of the Hanna pH probe (red). It took a long time to get results.

I got a used apex el with eb832 for $250 off market place lol.. then I traded some work for a trident… that’s as far as I’m gonna go..
I’m old skool and hate computer stuff! More crap to go wrong! I will dose by hand till I die! Haha

I use the Apera instruments AI311 PH60. It's one of the top reef choices for breading fish "so I read in some review". It holds calibration very well and never have any issues with it. Also has a nice clear screen that lights up. I use just 2 point, 7 and 10.1 and it's golden!
