hey guys I know they have constant indicator meters like the bluelab guardian that give constant ph/ppm readings but the blue lab guardian can only be used in 1 res. so i was wondering, are there any constant indicator meters that have multiple ph/ppm probe outlets so you could monitor like 3 or 4 reservoirs ph/ppm at the same time?? ive tried finding one but cant

I'm curious about that also.
Right now I have a hanna ph pen and i have to clip it onto my water pumps wire and let it sit there 20min to get an accurate reading. so annoying

your probe is broken. dried out most likely
you think? as far as i can remember its been like that since i bought it

Hannah is good gear. mine reads soon as it hit the water.
even the cheapest digi meters will read faster then....20 minutes...like even 2 minutes is a long time.
are you sure the cap is off? I'm serious cause I know a person, who may or may not be myself. that used a new meter with the cap on before someone saw.
yeah the cap is off lol but for example if i put the meter in the water and let is sit for 10 seconds it will say 6.6 (slowly going down... if i move the meter around in the water the reading moves faster) then if i leave it in the res for 15, 20min it will come out to 6.1.... the weird part is if i put it in calibration solution it only takes a couple seconds to read correctly. maybe the airstones have something to do with it? maybe because i dont keep that probe fluid in the cap when im not using it

TBH, I don't know what effect air stones would have, but I'm guessing depending on how big your rez is, it might slow readings.
maybe try taking a cup out and read that, or turn off the stones.
Well its 2 airstones in a 22gal tote the whole surface is bubbled but thats a good idea ill try that. i still want to know if anyone knows of a meter like the one i was asking about with the multi probes though

i recently had a bluelab ppm meter go crazy on me and they replaced it for me even tho its warranty had expired. They have good customer service.
Yeah maybe i should just try returning my hanna not sure what the warranty on it is though
