    You can't beat what feels right or that guy feeling lol. I just hate second guessing myself like you must have been doing.

    what kind of reactions your corals show when ph would be too high or even too low? i usually "eyeball" my tank too i guess i wouldnt know what would be what without tell tale signs.

    glad it was just a false alarm and you didnt take drastic measres to try and correct a faulty reading!

    To be honest, I dont really know how stressed they would look, if ever, because of the excessive high/low pH.

    Thanks tho, and Im glad too, that I didnt do anything stupid. Thanks 3reef!
