CO2 drop checker

**hirowen** · 3rd Jul 2013, 17:15

Hi Folks,

Sorry I'm very new to this equipment. I need to get 1 to ensure the co2 level in my tank are in rightful amount. Do you have any recommendation on which brand to buy? And also where to buy? Thanks in advance!

Btw I would prefer it to be as small as possible because my tank is only a 1.5feet. Thanks!!

You can get the ANS brand nano Co2 drop checker from most of the popular LFS, if i remember correctly around $15-$20 for a set, comes with the pH indicator solution too (but you'll need to make or get 4dkh solution separately to mix and get accurate measurements).

Can also order it from online locally: http://freshnmarine.com.sg/estore/pr...oducts_id=3595

The Cal aqualabs ones from GC are more pricy at around $46, but they do look nicer and the glass quality is probably better.

cal labs no more selling in GC. or so i've been told of.

urban bought one that seems like premixed. think he have opened a thread.

edit: only the drop checker solution. in case someone does read it wrongly

Yeah, i bought the Ocean Free indicator solution which is apparently pre-mixed type.

I'm still not 100% sure its pre-mixed and at what calibration though (didn't have any normal indicator + 4dkh mix to compare with), but it seems to work just on its own.

**felix_fx2** · 3rd Jul 2013, 22:48

most important is it works. right out of the bottle.

the color changing depends how the ratio indicator and 4dkh they were mixed at. so not really alot to worry.

Haha it's getting complicated for me now 😝

its not getting complicated....LOL

Depends on you, for me is 2 important aspect:

1. It works

2. Looks good....LOL

**felix_fx2** · 4th Jul 2013, 17:37

it's still simple...
indicator solution mixed or ready to use.
put in drop checker.

drop checker to me no need pretty, the art in the tank more important.

**hirowen** · 5th Jul 2013, 19:17

Haha! Ok! Will be collecting the drop checker from a bro here tomorrow.
