GHL probe holders

[Ken250]

What are people using for probe holders? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Has anyone found an acrylic probe rack that can hold four + probes?

Thanks,

Ken

I have each probe being held upright by taping down the wire on the trim of the sump. This way I can make sure that the whole probe is not submerged.

Small Ehime tubing holder is perfect size.

I drilled holes in my in sump acrylic calcium reactor stand (home made) for each probe and it works perfect. (cheap to make a in sump stand just takes an hour or so to cut and glue. (lowes cut the small acrylic sheets for me to size)

use a piece of egg crate or a 1/2 electrical wire grommet that you can find in the electrical section of HD (sorry dont know the name)

I used a hanging gang air control valve ($4.00 at the LFS).

I popped off the air valves, then just zip tied the probes
to the hanging holder (black holder, black zipties).

This is one thing GHL/Profilux should improve on !!

I was very surprised that my Profilux kit did not come with simple probe holders ! Also, the worst is I couldn't find any made by GHL (maybe I'm mistaken, but I have yet found any).

So, the funny thing is I got the Aquatronica probe holders instead. They are well made and do perfectly the job.

Ginzo - I agree. I've ordered some Aquatronica probe holders.

Thanks

I use the same probe holders that were posted above, they are the aqua logic probe holders. Just do a seach on Marine Depots website for probe holders and its the first one that pulls up. For 2.99 they work pretty well. I agree though, I was surprised to not have probe holders in the box.

Since we are on the probe subject, where is the best place to put them?
Fuge or sump?

If you put them in the fuge, you're going to get lots of coraline and other algae build up. A calm dark place in the sump is where I keep mine. Less cleaning = better accuracy.
