mFrame Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Generally with probes you're better off buying new. Used probes, if allowed to sit dry, are pretty much worthless. If you find used ones make sure the seller is knowledgeable and has maintained them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 for a pH probe, just buy a new one or one that has been unused. temp probes don't really ever "go bad" like pH/ORP/SpC/DO do, so if you could find used it should be fine. For simplicity, I'd just contact one of our sponsors and see what kind of deal they can cut you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdavis735 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You can find ph probes new on eBay for $20 or less. That's all I ever used when I had my tank and never had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutterborn Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 If a ph probe hasn't been used and stored dry, is it still good? - Ben - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If a ph probe hasn't been used and stored dry, is it still good? - Ben - Not stored "dry", a PH probe should have a cap on the end with liquid in it to keep it wet. If it doesn't have the cap you should avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't have the cap you should avoid it. This guy speaks the truth. I tried to find one used when I was putting together my apex, and came to the realization that I spent 500 bucks on a controller, god knows how much on my livestock and I'm going to skimp on a used temp probe/ph probe?

(Bio)³ Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 BRS even sells a probe for ~20 that works with almost all controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
