Get a digital Ph meter too, also cheap and better then constantly fucking with drops, and when your high sometimes its hard too focus on the right color.
Yeah get a combo or get them separate ...Look for one that reads temperature too .. In hydroponics you need to always pay attention to PPM , PH and reservoir temps.
So an aquarium heater in the reservoir may not be a bad idea.
Boomer that is super nice. I most definitely will be be purchasing one of those after reading reviews... when i get a bit more money. For now I am trying to spend under 100.
