daddySEAL Enthusiast Posts: 221 Kudos: 68 Votes: 3 Registered: 04-Mar-2008 | 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) http://www.outsidepride.com/catalog/4-Way-Analyzer-p-17835.html |

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.

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 Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
