All right, I admit it. For the life of me (or rather, my fishes) I cannot accurately read those bloody test kits. The eye doctor says I'm not color blind but I wonder sometimes. Every time I test my water then have the LFS test it for me, I'm not even close to what they have. I thought my pH was off the scale (8.1), they said it was 7.2. I have no idea if it's staying constant and I don't like it.

So for the sake of my sanity, I'm going to get digital test kits for what I can. First off will be the pH tester, although if anyone can recommend a digital test kit to measure most of the needed tings for an aquarium, that'd be grand.

Couple of options I've found. Preferences?

Hi,
When I shifted to a bottled CO2 injection system,
I purchased a "pinpoint" brand pH monitor. It came
with the calibration standards, and easily to read and
follow, "destructions."
It runs off of a 9VDC battery, and has been in use
for years now. I calibrate the probe annually.
I purchased mine from Drsfostersmith.com.
Trouble free, I love it.

Frank
