Has anyone ever gotten two different pH reading from two different test kits?
I have always used Jungle 'Quick Dip' pH strips, but I just recently got a new Hagen Mini Master Kit.
My main tank had tested with the strips at 6.8 yesterday and I decided to check my quarantine tank today with the new Hagen pH test. It came out to 7.0. So I was curious and decided to check it also with the strips and the strips read only 6.2!
I then tested the main tank again with the strips (still 6.8), but the Hagen test came out 7.6!
That's 0.8 difference on both accounts. Why is there such a large discrepancy between the two tests?
Anyone ever experience different test kits giving such different results?
