has anybody tried or set up a system of testing ph in line (after the filter but before an in line CO2 reactor)?
I was thinking about setting up a 'chamber' (a pvc bit) upstream from my newly made inline pvc co2 reactor (which if it works I will probably sell my current RedSea co2 reactor 500 w/ pump set up)
.. anyway back to the 'chamber' I could put a ph probe in it and maybe a thermometer too.. but I wanted to know if anybody has done this or if the it is not a good way to test the pH.
ALSO as a side question in case anybody knows, I have found online that eheim uses 16/22 hose. 16mm is the same (or darn close) to 5/8" hose. I know that most of the stuff you find at the hardware store is probably thinner walled than 16/22 hose, but I want to know if it's easy to hook up 16/22 hose to a 5/8" hose barb? or is it too big? (I ask this because most of what I have found addresses using 5/8" hardware store hose to hook to the Eheim and finding that it seems smaller)
