Does anyone have experience of the Eheim pH controller? I've researched online and found very little about it but assuming this is quite a good route to automate pH control and CO2 injection. Would love to hear people's views.
Thanks for the response and I do agree that simplicity is the more reliable path and I have exactly this kind of set up currently which has delivered CO2 efficiently for a year or two. I'm always inclined to seek out ways of automating through 'smart' solutions so the Eheim unit caught my eye. I have hard water so I get quite big shifts in water pH from when the CO2 is being injected to when it is not (overnight) so was wondering if this could establish better consistency, or if indeed that is even needed!You would be better off buying a decent controllable dual stage CO2 regulator, experimenting/finding an efficient way of getting CO2 into your tank (in-line diffuser is a good start) and easily readable drop checker(s). If you must insist on having a gadget then a pH pen could be considered.
