PH meter recommendation

[GrumpyDaddy68]

Hi all,
I'm new in the hobby and I would like to get some recommendations on a 'PH meter'; I have checked on line and the prices go from $15 to ~$100 (or even more).

I have the API test kits but I have difficulty reading the different colors and get an accurate value.

I have a small tank (25gal) and I'm not really looking for one the more sophisticated meters; I'm looking for a good/reliable meter that is not too expensive and easy to use (I like Hanna but I have read some many different opinions).

Thanks in advance,

I got a Hanna PH tester and it seems to work just fine. But I’m no expert on ph meters. Mine cost 35$. I went with this one

Did you buy and use the calibration and storage solutions?

Thanks for reply...

It comes with some calibration solution to get you started. I did buy the storage solution and the extra calibration fluid but be sure to get the calibration pack with solution 7.0 and 10

There's also this one with a replaceable probe

Not sure if the other one is replaceable

I'm looking to those two Hanna options.

Thanks,
