Digital PH Test

What brands are easy to use and reliable.  Was looking on Amazon and most seem to be TDS/PH meters etc

Why not just invest in controller.? The Apex jr is priced well and can handle all of that. Or you can probably find an AC3 or ACjr for really cheap. Fwiw I use a pinpoint salinity monitor and I have been very happy with it (I know its not a PH tool, but referring more to the company).

We eventually want to go that way when start building the new system but honestly the RSM is a royal pain to add anything to it.

The Red Sea will not prevent you from "adding" on a controller anymore than your legs prevent you from adding pants. 

 

It's a powerstrip. It controls your heater, fans, powerheads, pumps, etc, by plugging in. It can be used on any tank you switch over to. Just plug it into the wall. Unplug what you want from the Red Sea strip and plug into the controller. Problem solved.

I thought you had something into the tank for it to work.  Thanks!

I posted in the things I didn't waste money on and listed two things. Avast ATO and apex controllers. I have one of each on all three of my tanks (including MY Red Sea Max). The controller literally changes your life, as far as fish keeping goes, at least;-)

Just think, you can check your pH and temp from a tailgate party with your phone. 8)

I may be able to check the ambient temperature of my Telefunken tubes, too!
