Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the aquarium CO2 drop checker indicator solution work?

A: The CO2 drop checker uses a liquid pH indicator solution that changes color based on the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in your aquarium water. CO2 diffuses through an air gap into the solution inside the glass checker — turning it green (ideal), yellow (too high), or blue (too low), giving you a continuous, passive CO2 reading without any electronics.

Q: How often do I need to replace the indicator solution?

A: The indicator solution typically lasts several weeks before it needs to be refreshed. Over time, the solution can become saturated or evaporate slightly. It is recommended to replace it every 4–6 weeks, or sooner if you notice the color no longer changes accurately.

Q: Can I use this CO2 drop checker in any size aquarium?

A: Yes! This drop checker is suitable for nano tanks, standard fish tanks, and large planted aquariums alike. Simply attach it via the suction cup to the inside glass wall, ideally in an area with moderate water flow for the most accurate readings.

Q: Is the glass drop checker safe for fish and aquatic plants?

A: Absolutely. The checker is made from inert glass and uses a sealed indicator solution that does not come into direct contact with your aquarium water, making it completely safe for fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants.
