Don't routinely monitor pH either but something maybe to keep an eye on if starting up a Ca reactor.

When I'm not working - my 3rd monitor is acting as a HUD for all my reef parameters that I monitor with my controller. If I don't run a calcium reactor, My pH stays fairly "regular". When there are windows open in the house, it shoots up to 8.2 as you can see. It's a bit obsessive, but like I said, something to look at when not working.

I rarely check mine. I do have a one of those hand held electronic testers, and if I am feeling ambitious I will take a look. It is usually around 8.1/8.2. When I get a controller I imagine I will keep a closer eye on it, but otherwise I have no reason as everything seems to be healthy.

I wish there was an option to choose both. I test both in the morning and the evening once a week. I see very little swing in my pH if any since my refugium runs on a reverse photo period. I generally see 8.1 for all readings, maybe 8.0.
