Seachem pH Alert

[julzhull]

Has anyone had any experience with these? I bought one for my shrimp tank since my pH seems to be on the higher side. I wanted more exact than strips so I bought liquid pH tests and I then end up not being sure what color it's closest to. This seems to be more definitive but I'm not sure how accurate these are.

I have used them... super inaccurate in my experience. I think the strips are a decent compromise as far as convenience and accuracy goes.

I usually love the strips but this tank I added in a bit too much coral so I wanted a better reading. I just can't decide where I'm at when I look at the reg liquid and high liquid ph test kits. Maybe I'll try them again tonight and post pics. I'm trying to figure out if I should take more coral out.

Well I DO have experience with taking teeeny tiny coral rocks out of substrate. Remember this? I still have nightmares about it and high PH readings.....

I do remember that! Luckily all my coral is in one spot mixed with sand so it's easyish to remove.

You still get high ph readings after no coral?

Nope. Now PH is not an issue -- or doesn't seem to be.
