I bought the Sybon one before from J&L, and I cant praise it enough. It's sooo accurate and easy to use. I've had it for 3 months now, and I havent had to re-calibrate it yet.

I'm using the OM Squirt on my return, and it's awesome.

Only problem I had was when I had a bit of sand in the sump, and the return pump pumped some into the Squirt, which caused it to seize. I...

What kind of lighting setup do you have? I know in the tank they keep the acros, they have 400W MH's. And I think they have VHO Actinics in there too.

And do you have a CA Reactor running?
