IMO, experience and from what the owners of MTC informed me, placing a ph probe is the worst thing you can do. Install a quality reliable regulator and you will be able to dial the rector in perfectly...

Going on 8 weeks now without a water change. Nitrates are <5 as of this morning which is the lowest they have been. I continue to house 30-40 fish in the entire system between All the tanks and feed heavily each day. I will be dialing back the nitrate dose stage as I don't want to hit zero...
Which is exactly the reason to be patient and wait. "A few weeks" is nothing for a system to recover. Additionally if the new fish get sick and you use the tank as a qt, treating with meds is not always the best for the health of the fish. But hey what do I know...
May be a good idea to wait and let your system stabilize. You just lost a bunch of fish to ich and treated and moved rock around etc. your biological filter has defintely been reduced and will have to recover.
The most important thing in this hobby is patience, so it would be good to wait...
6 weeks without a water change, although I plan in doing one this weekend and then waiting 2 months for the next and eventually eliminating!!!
Po4 and NO3 have been holding trace levels, corals look better every day. My friend with a 500 gal mixed reef just put a reactor in today...
