help! I have just pruchased a calcium reactor,PH monitor and probe,Solenoid, dosing pumpo and CO2 kit.The manufacturer is Aquamedic. I have been running it for a day now and the monitor is showing a PH value of 5.2!!! I have set the controller at a high of 8.2 but even with the addition of the CO2 the monitor readout is steadily dropping. Unfortunately the instructions from Aquamedic are not very good so I may be doing something wrong.Has anyone any ideas or has anyone got the Aquamedic range of reactors etc and had similar experiences? Everything seems to be working OK and I calibrated the probe at PH7.

Once again please help!
