My pH reads low always. I stopped trying to solve it - corals are doing fine. I have probe I should plug in to cross reference though...
Please do. For scientific purposes haha.. Honestly don't know how accurate it is. My api test never showed me a reading above 8.1. My seneye tracked along those lines and then bumped up when I upgraded skimmer in tables. To now it just appears to be stick around 8.3. Im chalking the last week up to wierd stuff happening in water column but seems to have settled down in last cpl days. I need to get a probe or something reliable to cross refference to from time to time especially when I change seneye slides.

I need to replace the batteries, but as soon as I do that and recalibrate I'll let you know.

It's hard to control pH when you have canisters of co2 hanging out in your house for beer purposes lol

Homebrew is a great hobby that pays off. He spends as much on homebrew & woodworking as I do on reef stuff -- but I get to drink the beer he makes.

Just off to bed, somewhere in the menu you need to switch the view screen on, nudge me in the morning if you don't find it and I will take a look, what model camera is it? :)

It may be in my head but swear my Reverse Maui is starting to bounce as well:)
Figured out if I get shrooms right up to glass with cam I can get ok pix with phone.
Still working on it! Glass is a bit dirt cant wait until mag float arrives so I can get serious about cleaning this glass!
