pH pens are a total pain. Caused me an heart attack one day when it showed my pH of something around 6.8 after the lights are off (I was like how is that even possible in a saltwater tank!!!!). API test kit saved me from dying. I got mine from ebay for like $10. Guess the expensive ones are of no difference.

I just used a cup of water from my DT, which has been reading 7.4 ish, and I put my QT probe in it ...
It gave me a pH of 7.94 Regardless of the higher reading, I'd say I have a low pH issue in my tanks

Greg, don't rely on the phone probe... Mine is consistently off by about 0.2... I verified this using an API and Seachem test. I also got JL to test it for me.

If you're not noticing any negative impacts, you are better off not messing with it. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I checked the pH reading on my contoller. Everything in my tank looks happy, so I never bother.

Although my pH readings, Alk, Ca, Mag and such have been higher than others may like, I guess I'm good to go Harken back to other posts where I was questioned about my params ... My salt is good  Yup, you guys are right ... The way my tank has looked lately leads me to believe nothing is wrong ... With my pH readings from my controller, I've been concerned ... guess I'll have to learn to ignore the readings and focus on the corals ... I guess I should do as Brad has told me before ...  spend more time enjoying it and less time working on it

Unless something starts to look off, don't worry about the pH. My system is dropping down too: now that all of the windows are closed overnight in the house again.
There are much more important parameters to worry about.
