    Hi guys, i am wondering if there is anywhere i can buy 4 DKH solution for my drop checker? I have a 13L cube micro tank which is on co2 for my plants. I have read that i will be needing a 4DKH solution for my drop checker in order for me to know if i am getting the correct amount of CO2 in my tank. Please advise and many many thanks in advanced!

    C328, Polyart and Seaview are the LFS that I saw this item on sale recently.

    Alternately you can buy those drop checker solution that does not need 4dKH solution at all. Just direct use it in your drop checker.

    Yes. Easily available at the same LFS. Just ask them for it. Currently I'm using Borneowild CO2 Check, can Google it for your reference. Local brand from GC I think.

    Don't think those pre-mix solution need to add tank water.

    No, just use it alone. No need to add anything else.

    Yeah, the other brands that also have pre-mixed indicator solutions are Ocean Free and ISTA, can use those too.

    Here is a photo of the Ocean Free version:



    As as shown in the instructions, just drip a portion into the drop checker and can use immediately, no need to mix with any water.

    You can get them from most of the popular LFS... i got mine from Polyart and Seaview.

    From my experience, the solution can last for many months and still generate readings... though the bottle instructions often say change every 2 weeks, i guess that's to encourage repeat purchases.

    Usually you'd change the solution when it evaporates or if you find that the overall color is fading.
