the water going THROUGH the sump comes from the tank with lights on it!

It's just more hiddin in the sump. Up to you entirely.

test kits (even salifert) are not very accurate when it comes to testing pH.

If you REALLY want to know how accurate your pH monitor is, you can do the borax test:

(specifically...post #8 by Tom)

you'll more than likely have questions...but try and digest it. And feel free to come back with any additional question you have!

glad the results matched!

And more than happy to help.

Sorry my responses have been ... uhm...sporadic...just testing air traffic control software, and the FAA rep's here in the lab, keep pestering me.

hahaha

Need to work on their priorities! hahahaha
