Those cheap PH pens are terrible, however, some of the cheap tds pens are pretty accurate. You could get the cheap tds pen, and a ph test kit if you want to keep things as cheap as possible. You'll probably have to spend at least $70 to get a decent PH pen.

I didn't screw around as I usually would. I saw enough threads online about cheap equipment failures and went with the BlueLabs set 3 yrs ago.
I figured since I spent ~$700 on lights, about 130 for some reliable meters was well worth it.

I'm only speaking for ph pens but I started with a $35 hanna meter and upgraded to a $80 apera ph60. I'm very happy with the apera.

The case and kit that comes with it is solid. Quick readings with .01 accuracy. Great display and replaceable probes.

I dont think you'd regret going with the pc60 but smokey has a great option too
