EMERGENCY, PH probe calibration. .

I have one of the fluid packets open calibrating my pinpoint probe to my reefkeere 2. But the value is not going down from 935, I would guess it's supposed to go down to 700 before moving on. PH monitor on reefkeeper 2 shows 923. What is the value supposed to "stabalize" at before calibrating with the 10.0 fluid? The instructions to not say that, which is stupid. .

There is a clear "bead" on the end of the probe. Am I supposed to "pop" that or leave that there?

The actual value displayed on the monitor will be garbage. Simply wait for it to stabilize on a value, then proceed.

Ok I'll take your word for it. When the probe was not in the solution the # was different so it did actually change. I hope you are right.

I indeed to NOT pop the "bubble" correct?
