The $33 pH meter

[SCReef'n]

Saw a Reef Builder article on this and I figure for the price Id give it a shot and see how it compared to my Hanna. Easy enough to set up and calibrate. And it’s within 0.1 of my Hanna so.....cool. Ill be watching to see if it drifts overtime but for >$35 I got real time constant ph monitoring.

That’s cool! Thanks for posting. I think I’m gonna order one now.

I found the same one with free amazon shopping.
2-in-1 PH Temperature Continuous Monitor Meter Tester ATC Backlight Replaceable Electrode Buffer Calibration Set Dual Display 0.00~14.00pH °C/ °F Water Quality Kit for Aquariums Hydroponics Pools Spa
The reviews are all over the place on this thing. But it looks like yours is reading temp and PH at the same time.

Yes temp and pH. It also has the option to use battery or AC power

Long term, have these worked well on your tanks?

Following as I like to know as well.

Interesting, I may try one but have found similar items to lose accuracy over time. I think the probe gets corroded somehow. But for the price it's easily replaced every year.

Did you calibrate it quarterly?

I ask as I'm about to order one of these exact ones in a week

Is it still working

No this was a 45 dollar cheap set up temp probe that I just use as a back up.
