Looking to see what others think about the Apex Neptune PH probe vs. other PH test equipment? I keep getting low PH levels (calibrated) alarms with the Apex system like around 7.6 but when using the Hanna PH tester I get a higher reading and when using the RedSea PH test unit, the PH is still higher around 8.1. It seems the corals are not growing but look healthy. I know the PH can have a big part of the coral growth and was wondering if the Apex PH probe correct...possible using other parameters to calculate the PH measurement.
- Some say to open a window - I usually have the back door open (which is located 4' from the tank).
- Some say to run the skimmer air tube to the outdoors, such as through a window. I think this is a bad idea. When the pet control companies come to spray, the skimmer will consume the spay into the tank from the air tube.
- Alk 8.0-8.5, Ca 420-450, Mg 1300-1310, Salt 35, ORP 410-450, & temp 77-78.
