Being also an avid gardener(as well a a fishkeeper), I'm looking for a dual use electronic instrument to measure pH and other things (related to soil, in those cases).

This product could be used in my garden,planted pots hopefully also, along with my many aquariums?

Would this work in my aquarium any better than 0.5 step pH readings of my water pH test kits?
(I already have multi-function water quality test strips and a waper/drop pH kit...and am looking for some "metered" and more accurate than "colors" every half step in pH values)

Hi,
I tend to believe it would not be very accurate
and would probably only get you into the "ballpark."

If you already have it, try it between the garden and
the tank and see how/if the readings differ between
it and a regular, aquarium test kit.

I agree with Frank on this one if you have it test it and see how close you can get also remember some of those testers are as acurate as in the same paddock.

Personally I would not trust it at all.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
