    Here's one from Hanna Instruments:


    HI-991404 pH, conductivity, TDS and temp. meter.

    Its priced at £168.00 (British Pounds). Don't know how much that is in SGD but its definitely expensive.

    ACK!
    Forget it, I'll just stick to inaccurate Sera test kits

    honestly, if you're really into pH and kH testing, these ISA probes are great
    they save you time and the cost of buying new test kits
    all you need to do is to buy some calibration fluid which can last you like, forever
    iirc weileong worked for a company that sold these probes, but i don't know if he's still on the forums

    U can get something like this, http://www.eaquanature.com/store/pro...roducts_id=833


    or if pH is ur main concern, just get a pH pen. <$50.

    However, if you wan to automate ur CO2 injection, a pH controller will be needed.

    Cheers

    A pH probe that comes with a pH monitor can do exactly what you want. (Not the entire thing in the water though...just the bulb area...)

    There's one available locally but it will set you back by at least $100. You're better off with a pH pen and it works just as well, by a much cheaper margin.

    roughly, how much is a pH pen and where can you find them?
