Hi
I am wanting to implement an Arduino PH Meter and I know there are a lot of these out there that people have made and some details published online.
Is there a good cheap product(s) that can be recommended?
From what I can see I need an Arduino + a PH Meter board + a Ph sensor normally BNC connector. Is there a specific type/quality I should look for?
Can all ph sensors be permanently placed in an Aquarium? What happens if they are not suppose to be permanently submerged and they are?
I do not have a reef aquarium but a simple Community Tank - about 300 litres.
I have done some searching and there are a number of products that people mention but is there a known good set of products that people can recommend?
Do you need to buy calibration liquid? Or do some support not needing this? or is this bad?
