Serious hydroponic growers need to know exactly how strong or weak their nutrient solution is. Tank Commander uses an advanced, RISC-based microprocessor to give you a continuous numeric display of the two most important variables in succesful hydroponic growing -- pH (the level of acidity or alkalinity) and Conductivity (the strength of the nutrient solution.)Accurate information allows the grower to maintain pH and conductivity at optimum levels -- not too high, not too low by adjusting nutrient levels. By using pH Raise and pH Lower solutions. With advanced features yet simple operation, Tank Commander eliminates the guesswork and brings precision hydroponic growing to a new and affordable level.
