Measuring pH under hyposalinity

How do you measure pH during hyposalinity treatments? Your salinity is very different than normal content so I'd be a little skeptical about the results from saltwater pH tests and yet your not really fresh water so using a fresh water kit doesn't seem applicable either. Are there some brands of pH tests that work for both fresh and salt?
 
I have a Milwaukee ph 52 that is waterproof and you stick it in the water and it reads the temperature and ph. It's about $50 and well worth it.
Before that I was using Aquarium Pharmacueticals to measaure ph and it was accurate.

I would probably recommend that you get a pH monitor to monitor your pH constantly. When doing a hypo, the fish tend to be under more stress which they consume more oxygen which then lower the pH. I have used kalk/lime to help increase the pH.
 
Thanks for the advice. I'm don't have anything I need to hypo yet but I was noticing that the pH test kit I have is for salt water and they make another one for fresh. So I was wondering if the pH measurement was accurate.
