hi
i am in the process of buy a RA and have been told that I can calibrate ph with ph 4 and ph 7 fluid
"I could only find you 4 and 7 calibration fluid. This fluid will work with a slight adjustment to the code"
is this true and how would I go about doing this

If you add this to your code, you can calibrate with 4 and 7:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.UseFlexiblePhCalibration();

Regardless of that, you want to calibrate close to the numbers are tanks run at, which is using 7 and 10. It's readily available at all of the online stores.

well should I use sea water then? the problem is I live in Mozambique ( in Africa) my closest LFS is in another country, and they only have 7 & 4 so I take what I can get ( nearest post office 250 km)

ah..did not realize you lived there. In that case, 4 and 7 is fine.
