PH Probe and Salinity Probe storage

Hey all,
Just curious about recommendations for long-term storage of the PH and Salinity probes. Did some searching around on the forums and couldn't find anything, but did see recommendations for storing the PH probe in PH 4 solution, and the salinity probe in 35 ppt calibration fluid on other sites. Figured I'd check with everyone here though, thanks!

You actually need to store pH probes in a special solution for pH probe storage. If I'm not mistaken is a solution based on KCl.
The salinity is actually better off stored dry.

Great, thanks Roberto. Found a solution on Amazon that should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071A ... UTF8&psc=1
