Most people don't *control* tank PH, that's just a natural function of balancing the various factors that affect it up or down (kalk and two part alk = up, calc reactors = down, and a bunch of other factors)

Most people just use the Jr to track PH levels, and possibly shut off a self-contained calc-reactor/ph system if the tank level is dropping too low. More a fail-safe versus controlling it.

The ACIII and pro can track 2 PH probes, and one is used to track the tank, and the other can repalce the use of a standalone PH controller for maintaining a stable PH level in the Calc reactor.
