Here's what I was thinking.....
Been very busy so it's all I've been able to do (I did it from memory at work so I may have gotten navigation wrong
) but imagine each unit in this style, with a list as just mentioned and links to the wiki?
Do I continue? I'll obviously ensure that everything is as correct as possible.
ReefAngel
1. Head Unit
1. PH Probe
1.1 Standard Setup
The Reef Angel Controller comes standard with one PH port and a PH probe.
This allows you to moniter your PH and plot graphs via the Portal.
The probe is connected via a standard BNC connector.
Once you have applied power to the RA you should see numerical values under the “PH” heading.
The next step is to calibrate the Probe. This will ensure you get the correct PH reading and will require Stock PH solutions of PH7 & PH10 which most LFS' carry.
Push down on the HeadUnit's joystick and you will enter the “Settings” page.
Scroll down to PH calibration.
Push the joystick to begin the calibration.
Place the PH probe in the PH7 solution and let it sit until the values stabalise.
Push the Joystick
Clean the probe with some RO water
Place the PH probe in the PH10 solution and let it sit
Push the Joystick.
Clean the Probe with Some RO water.
Your PH probe is now calibrated and ready to be placed in a probe holder in your tank.
1.2 Setup for Marine tanks using PH4 & PH7 Solutions
In some areas a PH10 solution can be difficult to obtain. In this event the RAcode for PH calibration allows the user to use PH4 and PH7 stock solutions.
This will require you to enter values into the Code line, but is a very straight-forward procedure.
As before, scroll with joystick and push down on it to enter the settings page.
Select PH calibration and click begin calibration.
Place the PH probe in the PH4 solution and wait for the values to stabalise.
Write down the value.
Push the Joystrick
Clean the Probe with some RO water.
Place the PH probe in the PH7 solution and wait for the values to stabalise.
Write down the value.
Push the joystick.
Your PH will now give an eroneous reading, don't worry.
Subtract the first value (PH4 solution) from the second value (PH7 solution) which will give us the difference.
Now add this Difference value to the PH7 value you wrote down, which will give you your PH10 value.
Now all you need to do is add the following line in your code via the code editor:
Please insert correct code lines here
Now turn off the RA, plug the USB cable in and upload the code.
The PH probe is now calibrated and should give you correct values.

I need to see if this is a valid Title
Do guys use the RA for CO2 Reactors?

Believe it or not.... I can ask even stupider questions than this one.
