Co2 indicator solution turned clear

[Sanjay]

Hi I'm using the ISTA co2 indicator
The indicator solution turned from blue to a clear liquid after placing it in my tank for about 4 hours . Does Anyone knows why this is Happening or encountered a similar situation ?

try taking out from the tank, it should turn back to blue after few hours. If not then probably tank water leak inside

I tried taking it out of the tank and it turned back to blue

Did you accidentally mix it with aquarium water? Or are you using a Twinstar system?

I'm not using a twin star system. The solution is still in the indicator and it turned blue when I left it outside the tank.

That's strange... okay, one more solution, ask someone to view the color of the solution when it's in your tank, just to confirm that its clear. Sometimes it's possible that the specific colour may look different to different people (ie. due to partial color blindness).

Also try checking it against a white background to see if it may be actually very light yellow... it could be due to super high Co2 levels changing the color to those extremes.

Did u use 4dkh solution instead of aquarium water?

I'm using the solution which came together with the co2 checker

The solution turn blue when you take it out of the tank, that mean it working. But I'm not sure why white color either you inject to much or you are using misting (atomizer)

I'm using ISTA co2 external reactor I'm not sure if that's the reason why the solution turned clear . I'll try again and see what happens
