REVIEW
I really like this controler. I use it with my calcium reactor in saltwater aquarium and also to control pH in freshwater planted tank.
The first reason why I chose to go with this model is because of it’s price. I could not find a better deal with other brands.

The other thing I like about it is that it is very easy to set up and use. I have had them for over 4 years and they have been very accruate and trouble free. It has a large LED display w/ alarm which makes makes it a lot easier to glance at it and tell if you are within your set parameters for pH.

Remember to clean the probe once in a while and calibrate the monitor once a month for good results. Which Im sure you should do with all monitors.

The alarm is just the flashing red LED. There is no audibles.

I have heard people saying they don’t alway’s turn off the solenoid when the pH falls bellow the set point but I never had this problem. This should not happen and if it does, there might be something wrong with your controler.

The only thing I hate about it is the bright yellow probe. Couldnt they have used any other color?
