Back to town :D

My hand held pH meter is very disappointing
I calibrate it and use it once ... it's fine
I store it in RO water and the next time I use it it's already off by .5

I follow the instructions on mine and all is good
Using your 4.0 and 7.0 cal solution @ any room temperature is OK between 75 and 85
I rinse my hand-held very well with RO water between solutions and it's always been good to go
But, as I said, it doesn't always last long

Don't buy any critters yet !!!

Get your tank clean and stable first
A week won't hurt to wait and see you have no more Nitrates

Mine is a $10 pH meter so I can't blame it if it's 2/3dp off :P

And oh the waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt :'( This is the worst part

It's all part of the hobby ...

Only bad things happen quickly
