Yes, any will do it.
7 and 10 for the tank ph.

Edit; I highly recommend you do manual mode and do it twice in a row.

I use generic calibration fluid. Works fine.

what do you mean by manual mode and twice?

Go into the probe and you will see the manual mode and temp correction. Use tc and manual. After I calibrate once I just go ahead and do it again and it's way more accurate.
Float the 7 and 10 in tank to warm it up.

I don't like the way they do the calibration these days.
You have to wait until it's stable for a few seconds then proceed.
What I do is float the 7 and 10 in my sump.
Dry probe off on paper towel.
Put in 7,wait until stable. Next.
Swish in rodi, dry on towel, put in 10 until stable, finish button. Swish in rodi, put in tank.
Then, do it all over again. For some reason I get better results, faster results, the second time around. I think it's the software they use.

You can set that to whatever, I think that might be from factory.
