Julia, suggested (during annual shadow sampling undertaken) we at YAR 580 should have a Digital Turbidity Meter. The dissolved Oxygen Test gave a 90% percent saturation of oxygen. a new Digital air and water temp gauge provided, will be used in future. Discussion re the timing of the pH meter in the water sample -- the 10 second rule? or even longer, and the difference in the readings from the two meters on this site at the above date.
