Ok, so I have a ph meter (pen), and the last time I fed my girls, I went ahead and calibrated my meter. As many of you well know, first you put the meter in 6.86 buffer solution, and turn the set screw until it reads 6.86 on the meter, and then doing the same thing with the 4.01 ph solution.
The thing is, that doesn't make sense to me, because after I adjust it to 6.86...if I move the set screw when I adjust the 4.01, then that would throw off my initial 6.86 reading.
To verify this, after the calibration was complete, I again put the pen in the 6.86 solution...and sure enough the reading was around 6.1
This being said...if 6.86 solution is being read as 6.1....then it would seem to make sense that I would want my feed water at around 6.1 on the meter as well...to match the buffer solution rating which is actually 6.86.....did that make any sense at all?
