Probe caps

[Raptor72]

Recently I tried to remove the probe caps off my temp and PH probes to fit them in a new sump holder. The temp cap wouldn't budge and the PH cap started to slide off when I noticed that there was fluid inside, immediately I abandoned my attempt. I assume that this liquid is something that keeps it calibrated. After some measuring, I determined that the probes wouldn't fit in the holes anyway, since they were only .48" in diameter. Is there a way to remove and replace the caps without affecting the functionality?

I think for Neptune - the cap on the temp probe does not come off.. But the cap for the PH is on there to keep the PH probe tip moist (sent from Neptune that way) this is to make sure that the PH probes does not dry out during transportation. Once you set up the controller you need to calibrate the probe with the PH solutions .

Man, someone here always has the answer! That's great. I did not know the PH cap had to be removed. I knew I needed to calibrate it, I just haven't ordered the calibration packets yet. Thanks.
