PH is low?

Put your probe in vinegar for a day , rinse, recalibrate , reinstall if it still acting up replace it , I had a bad one out of the box , looked a lot like yours..

Is this a newish system?

When your calibrating watch the settle numbers a good probe settles almost instantly a bad probe takes it's time and never settles, it's wandering around , that's good indication of bad probe, I'm in Texas, Galveston area

This is a second new probe and still reads the same so I know it's not the probe

So the test result of Red Sea would you trust that or the probe ? Like I said the probe is calibrated right because when I put it in the solution it reads it correctly

You can track the ato on time easy threw a outlet , I'm trying to track flow , it's not that acurate , my ato comes off of my home drinking water , so pressure is always inconsistent, I like to look at the weekly graph and see trend , not really the numbers, you can see when and how often just not exactly how much, another thing to remember is now the apex takes a reading every minute so all your on and off times need to have no seconds in them or the apex will miss the data log

Pic of tank and equipment would be helpful , I've see ph probes act weird next dcpumps and things like that, isolate your wire away from everything, Is the tank grounded, If not ground it to the apex and make sure apex is grounded and the outlet is grounded all pumps lights ECT very. Very important. Cheap extension cords with no grounds is a quick no.

I see it looks great..trying to figure out the apex side.

What does the apex read?

In skimmer? That won't work with all those bubbles, place it in a calm area, it cant have bubbles in on or around it, if so the probe may have bubbles trapped in it.thsts a real no no

Can't tell but looks like bubbles all over it..

There's no bubbles lol the outlet of the skimmer is on the other side . The probe is in its holder of the sump that holds temp , ph

Probe can be affected buy a device threw the apex, if a pump is failing it can send a ripple or rf , ect,ect threw the eb8 and affect it like that..seen it, done it , live with it , it sucks but that's how it is..

Man I have to STOP dosing Kalk because now my parameters are out of wak . Mag 1560, Cal 500 , alk is 12 dkh

Ato pump maybe, I don't think you should have spikes or dips like that at all , unless your dumping gallons at a time, so saying that something is causing the apex to spike when it activates..

So got a question I use Red Sea Pro Salt in order to lower everything I have to use just Red Sea Salt when I do water change ?

What's sg ? Salinity?

Specific gravity, yes salinity, not the same but close

What salt mix do you use, and water change regimes?
