Probe Holders

[sfboarders]

Or get one for less that doesn't require you to disconnect things

Just bought 2 of these last week. $25.55 shipped and got it within 2 days. By far the best and cheapest solution compared to the Eshopps or Avast probe holders. This is the sister company of Geos Reefs who make reactors.

Thanks for the link!

I use the MagClips also, there is smaller clips in the package that work excellent with my probes (Pinpoint ORP, Neptune pH and Neptune Temp sensor) right down to 1/4 airline tubing size.

I place the clip on the top part of the probe (away from the probe tip) and the magnet does not seem to effect it. I would guess that because you are using both sides of the magnetic together and not subjecting the probe tip to be in between the magnets it's effects are minimal (I'm not an Engineer/Scientist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last week).

They are inexpensive, most aquatic stores carry them and I like them because I can place them anywhere in my sump on any of the sides with any distance between probes or orientation that is best for my setup.

I use these MagClips from Marine Depot. They work great and you can move them around fairly easy. I had to put a zip tie to prevent the probe from slipping through the bracket.

I would like to put a small strip of acrylic on the side of my custom made acrylic sump in order to hold the apex probes. Two questions:

1. How many different probes does Neptune have (I have two but want to make sure I have room for expansion)?

2. What is the diameter of the hole that I should drill (and are all the probes the same diameter)?

Thanks,
Shane

This is the cheepest you can make TRUST me on this one sorry no picks.
Everyone has leftover pvc from plumbing there tanks. Cut a section to wedge in your sunp,of coarse not enough to brake the sump. Now that I have your attention drill as many hole to match your number of probes and install. No free ginsue knife's with advice.
Thanks for looking.
Anyone using please pm me and send one american dollar.
