pH probe calibration

[Leadfootedracer]

Bought a ReefKeeper used. It came with a pH probe but no solution. A quick look online shows the solution is available in various pH levels. What should I get, to get the probe calibrated?

I think most people use the 7.0 and 10.0 calibration solutions to calibrate.

I always used 7 and 10. Try to calibrate in the area of what your trying to measure. So in this case, you know your ph will be in the 8.2-8.4 range so calibrating 7-10 is the way to go.

Doing this requires both solutions? I've never done this and the ReefKeeper came with no paperwork. I haven't had a chance to get on a computer to look over the manuals/guides. I do most internet things on my phone. LoL

Will do. Anything particular, or will the $5 bottles off eBay work just fine?

I get the little pouches from underwater world they're like $2 each, single use

I can look and take a pic later I don't know who makes them

So, something like this? $2.00 per pouch. If order 3 each of the 7.01 and 10.01.
