I need to do some calibrating of my pH probe on my AC Jr, and my refractometer. Any place local to pick up fluids? I dont know what to use for the refractometer, never done that one before. Any info would help.

Calibrate the Refractometer to zero with RO water about the same temperature as your normal tank water.

I was told RO would work, but wasn't sure. That is good to know.

Now, you know where i could get some pH fluid local?

With what money? I just bought $500 worth of coral and a whole school of fish in the last couple days...None left for buying more livestock right now. Cry

Thanks for the info though, I will give them a call tomorrow. Thumbs Up
