pH range question for those who have a controller
So I finally have my pH probe calibrated on my Profilux 2ex controller. Right ATM it reads 8.14, I have noticed that it jumps from 8 - 8.3ish from morning to late afternoon and then drops down closer to 8ish by late evening.
Is this a normal occurrence?

Mine bounces up and down, Usually peaks around 17:30ish (8.3) and lowest at 02:30 (8.1)....outside temps also affects this, I have an HRV with an exhaust vent directly behind the tank, if the furnace runs more in the day my PH is lower, When it's warmer outside the PH is slightly higher...If I turn off the skimmer for any amount of time while dosing (4hrs etc) the PH drops right down to 8ish. If I have people over and they are in the same room as the tank, I can see the PH drop, then raise after people leave...think this is atributed to Co2 levels in the room etc...Fun to look at the graphs and compair to what was actually going on in the room at the peaks and lows.

Hey Greg, I have been battling the thought of a controller. Do you like yours?
If so, can you use them with a dosing pump. I am looking at automating the vodka dosing, MG, St, Ca and ALK.

Hey Rick, so far I love it I still want to get a Redox & Salinity probe as well as a GHL 4 pump dosing unit. With the Profilux you can get 2,3&4 pump units either stand alone units or controller units.

I guess I'm really just suggesting that your money might be better spent on something else. |
