THE KEY BENEFITS

Made of strong glass

Easy to measure CO2

Ideal for larger tanks

Wat is this product?

Is your tank overgrown with filamentous or bearded algae? Or your plants lack color, seeming to fade more and more every day? Chances are you’re running low on CO2, which is one of the most important nutrients for your aquarium plants.

But how do you know exactly how much to add to prevent growth problems and algae?

Sounds difficult, yet it doesn’t have to be. This “Bulb” CO2 tester shows in a very simple way whether you have too little, too much or just enough CO2 in your aquarium.

Super easy measurement of your CO2

“So how can you determine the amount of CO2 with this drop checker?”, you’re wondering now?

The operation is actually super simple: first you add the indicator mix and then you turn the Bulb over. Finally, you hang it somewhere in your aquarium and about 1 to 2 hours later you will see that the color of the indicator mix changes.

Is the drop checker blue? Then you have too little CO2
Is it green? Then your CO2 is good
Rather yellow? Beware, you probably have too much CO2

Pretty handy, right?

Large aquarium? Then the Bulb is ideal

I sell several CO2 drop checkers, including the Drop and the Clip. But which one is the best one for your aquarium? Well, if you have a large aquarium (say 200 liters), the Bulb is surely the best choice.

Why? It is larger than the other 2 models, making it much easier to read the CO2 reading. Even among all those healthy aquarium plants!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I best install my Bulb drop checker?

1. Turn the Bulb over, you now see the opening
2. Add the indicator mix
3. Carefully turn the Bulb over & place it in your aquarium

How do I know what my CO2 level is?

This is super simple, you just have to look at the color of the liquid:

Blue color: too little CO2, carefully add a little more CO2
Green or lime green: OK
Yellow: you are adding too much CO2, be careful with your fish!

How should I clean the Bulb drop checker and when?

This is best done with every water change. Just rinse it out with RO water, run the filter wool over it and refill. I do not recommend using tap water for rinsing because you may get wrong color reproductions due to the calcium in the water.
