Hi folks!
Sorry, but I am reposting this from the equipment forum as suggested by another member...
I have a vital sine pH monitor and it reads about 3 degrees above what my other 4 thermometers in my system read (even one that is directly beside it). Now, I know there is a strong correlation between pH and temperature and am a bit miffed that I can't find a single resource to fix this one.
Tank temp (on 4 other thermometers): 79
Temp read by this vital sine: 82.5
It's reading a pH of 8.12 (average), so with a negative temperature correction I think it should be reading roughly 8.3.
Any thoughts?
And if you could (because my life tears me away from my aquarium more than I'd like) please respond here for the masses and to my account at brent.carroll@navy.mil.
Thanks!
