salinity and Temp monitoring

thrawn150RT · 05/20/2020, 10:02 AM

Is there a good product that would allow me to monitor salinity and temp digitally. I have seen a few products from China, but not sure how good they are. Looking to spend around $75 to $200 and network access would be a nice bounce.

Salinity monitoring for hobbyists is not quite there yet.
They are not accurate enough. They are however useful as a tool to watch for any trend to increase or decrease.
Temp is OK by a monitor.

I have tried two of the Chinese salinity, temp, PH monitors.

Absolute junk. Both of them.
