    No worries, the great thing about this hobby is that like Microsoft there is at least 3 ways to accomplish any task :p

    How much is a little light?
    Is it all the time or at certain times of the day? I dont have a monitor so not sure of any specific quirks it might have with the PH probe.

    p.s. it was just hooked up at 3:30 or so, so maybe it takes a little while to adjust, it started at 7.78? i was using the red sea test kit and it was hard to tell the coloring on the card so i should have been on it a long time ago had i known:confused:
