Is there a particular ph monitor/pen people tend to get?

My cheapo ph pen got wet and died today. Is there a particular model people tend to gravitate to that's accurate, easy to calibrate, and waterproof? I've got a 40g tank of softies and LPS, use kalk, and test the ph maybe once or twice a week. I'm willing to pay more if it's worth it given my situation but I doubt I need an always-on monitor.

Thanks for any input =)

alot of ppl use the pinpoint or milwalkee ph meters it is good to see when your ph drops or rasies. i have the milwalkee and really like it. and i would say if dosing kalk it is a good idea to have a monitor to keep a more stable eye on it

IMO
