AquaScape Essentials CO₂ Drop Checker Kit with Indicator Solution
£7.99
The AquaScape Essentials CO₂ Drop Checker Kit is a professional-grade monitoring tool designed to provide an accurate visual indication of CO₂ concentration in planted aquariums. Maintaining the correct CO₂ level is essential for optimal plant growth and overall aquatic health, as both under- and over-dosing can lead to algae blooms or harm to fish and shrimp.
This kit includes a hand-blown glass drop checker for maximum clarity and aesthetic integration into aquascaped tanks, along with a pre-mixed 4 dKH indicator solution that eliminates the need for manual preparation. The distinctive colour change system (blue, green, yellow) provides at-a-glance feedback on CO₂ levels:
Blue: Insufficient CO₂
Green: Optimal CO₂ (≈ 30 ppm)
Yellow: Excess CO₂ (reduce injection)
