RAV-65 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Bro, izit calibrated properly? If the probe is not damaged and is in good working condition, maybe the pH of your tank is really swinging... but IMO, I tink the probe spoilt...

blueheaven Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Then it is probably a problem with the probe Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.
