At what ph does your soleniod turn on and what ph does it turn off?

I have not seen them hooked up like that before. Usually you just control the ph inside the chamber and then control how much your tank needs by the effluent drip rate. You can set it so if your ph on the tank gets to low it turns off the solenoid to the co2 bottle. I also know of some people who just turn the calcium reactor on when the lights are on.

I only have 1 ph probe so I set the effluent to 6.6 and control the selonoid off of my tank ph. I'm not having trouble with tank ph at all.
