Did a search on the forum on subject. Only Found Frank Cowherd's talk on meters.
I need by the end of the week recommendations for the best sub $100 test meter to send down to the Project Amazonas Santa Cruz Rainforest Preserve for a fish survey to be conducted -- will include looking at fish on the land purchased a few years ago with donations made to the PVAS Foundation, Inc.
Need obviously pH, TDS and Temp if possible in one very durable instrument for field work in the jungle.
Thoughts please soonest as I need to order and have delivered to New Jersey by Thursday next week.
Thank you both.
I have been using this one for the last 2 years and it is awesome. I have dropped it in tanks and on concrete floors, my dog even tried chewing on it and it still works like a champ.

I'm not sure of any one that does everything for that price point. I have heard good things about Milwaukee Instruments:

Maybe reach out to Freshwater Exotics, and learn what they use on their trips to the Amazon: info@freshwaterexotics.com
