How does everyone test their pH? My pH test kit goes as low as 6.0 so I really don't know how low it is. How do you do it?

Thank you, Michael

I use both a test kit-Sera makes one that reads into the lower ranges needed for soft water fish and a pH meter-HM digital. I use the pH meter almost daily and use the test kit as an occasional back up to make sure the meter isn't to far off. Calibrating the meter regularly is essential though.

Sera is an over seas brand that can be a little hard to find in the states. I like their line of products so much that I found an import source and buy their test kits, plant fertilizer line, and a few foods in quanity.
