PH probe and Korallin Calcium reactor

bnumair · 07/20/2010, 08:22 AM

Guys
i have a Korallin Ca reactor along with ReefKeeperElite (rke) with SL-1 and SL-2. So i have 2 PH probes. 1 in the sump to monitor ph on display/sump water. The second one i am suppose to put in the Ca reactor. but how do i do that?
Korallin Ca reactor have no place insode for a probe nor its built to support one. its screwed shut from top. how to you monitor ph woth something like that? i have to monitor the internal ph in order to make RKE turn CO2 on and off.
can anyone help please.

never mind guys. iafter emailing korallin i found they do make a lid for their reactor that holds a ph probe. at $60 is an expensive lid. then again what is not expensive in this hobby.

I have the same ca reactor and drilled and tapped the lid myself. A simple 1/2-3/4 cord grip does the trick. That's BS that they charge $60 for a lid....
