That's kinda what I do, watch the livestock and figured as long as everybody looks good and healthy it must be ok.

I checked mine in 2003. It was low so I threw the meter out. Haven't had trouble since.

In my tank over 24 hours it swings between 7.9 and 8.35. The low value is the night time. The tank is about 6 ft from the deck door and the door stays partially open overnight summertime.
If you do just a test, it depends a lot when you do it and if you don't like the value, what do you do with it?

I monitor mine with my apex. For me i just find a comfort in knowing things are dialed in just right when dosing. Mine ranges from about 8.05 to 8.23 daily.

Last time I checked PH was when I started up my big tank a year or so ago
