Setting up this unit is actaully pretty simple. The sms122 is precalibrated but we like to tell all of our customers check again as the lives of your fish are worth it.
- test your current ph in your tank. This is vital as you do not want to set to low of a set point in your tank and shock your fish and make them go belly up. I generally make it .2 degrees lower than the current ph if this is a tolerable set point for the inhabitants. After a few days if you want to go lower then only do .1 increments in ph drops.
