I question whether anyone really needs a pH monitor on a reef tank. If you are measuring your Alk and your Alk is high enough, your pH should automatically be OK. I have come to the conclusion that my fish and corals don't care what the pH is and I focus on Alk, not pH.
I mostly agree. Measuring the tank pH is largely not necessary. It is cool, though!

Sort of same here, I'm using my monitor for my reactor, rarely on my tank. Though when first setting up the reactor, was monitoring the tank more often to get an idea if the effluent was having an effect.
