I like your aquascape. Looks wild and natural.😉
Truly amazing scape Viktor, still looks excellent, how long you going to keep this running? Also out of interesting how deep is the substrate at the back of the tank? Cheers keep up the good work 🙂
Check this out. I use their combine PH, TDS, Cond, Salt and Temp meter. It is really good.Tom, thanks for your thoughts on it. I agree with you of course. Since we're running so many tanks it is not too hard to set an ok level for CO2. I am not saying it is bulletproof, but until fishes and shrimps doing well and plants grows well i am fine. 🙂
By the way do you have any recommendation on a good pH meter? The ones i tried in the past i hated. They were inaccurate and damn slow. This is probably because they were in the 50-80 bucks range. Any useful one for a hobbist?

I use the same one for two years now. It is slow on PH test, but it is also damn accurate. The trouble with this kind of testers is that you have to leave them in water for 30 minutes or so for conditioning and then do the test. They also need to be calibrated often.Thanks G.
I used a similar one like this:

But i found it innaccurate on pH and slow. TDS and EC is good from this type.
If you have water low in salts (below about 100microS) you really need a solid state ISFET chip pH meter to get accurate pH measurements. The problem with all electrode pH meters is that pH becomes problematic as you approach pure H2O (or 0dKH). Around pH7 measurements are always likely to vary, because pH is both a ratio and a log10 measurement, and at pH7 (10-7 O-H and H+ ions) small changes in ratio lead to large changes in pH (this is what Tom alludes to earlier in the post).By the way do you have any recommendation on a good pH meter?
