Does anybody know the probe diameters, by any chance? I am looking for a probe holder.

Temp, pH, Redox, Conductivity

Thanks

About 1/2", Avast makes some nice ones. Don't know if they make one that holds 4 probes though. Mine holds 3, contact them and they may make a 4 probe holder.

Thank you! I will check them out.
Any experiences with the Eshopps Magnetic Probe Holder or the Bubble Magus Magnet Probe Holder? Unfortunately, none of the manufacture is mentioning the openings.

No, I have Avast holders and don't have the conductivity yet. I'm assuming it's the same diameter.

+1 for Avast, they'll custom make one for you if they don't have one in stock. Great customer service too btw!

The problem with the Avast probe holders is that they only use one magnet so if they get bumped they can rotate out of the water.

I got the sea side aquatic magnetic probe holder and its awesome. It even works on my big rubbermaid stock tank... on the curve!

All my profilux probes fit great.

Folks, thanks for all the input.
Looks like I have to build one by myself due to the layout of my sump. I do have some Plexiglas, so I can experiment a little bit.
I like the idea with strain relief cord connectors to hold the probes rather than screws.

I will keep you posted.

The problem with my holder,is all the holes are the same size.My Apex temp probes are bigger diameter and won't fit, unless you open up the holes. Not a big deal though.

Finally, I finished my probe holder

Herman that looks GREAT! I really like that design. Did you build it from scratch?

Thanks Allen!
Yes, I had some left-overs :)
The toughest part was to find something to hold the probes.

What did you use to bond the wire holder to the bracket? Thanks in advance

They are Self-adhesive.
Just to make sure I used also a little srew.

Herman that's impressive. I WISH I had some of your mad building skills. Maybe between you and Dennis some of it will "OSMOSE" over to me from talking to you two


LOL

eek when back in stock in a few weeks from any vendor, reefbytes is good.
