Highlighted Reviews

— Justin

"Considering dabbling with supplemental CO2 in my tanks and this was a great first step to understanding what levels are already present."

— Kimberly

"I didn't have luck with this. Not sure it really works. I followed instructions, but the liquid remained blue even after more than a week of adding liquid CO2. the liquid also seemed to go down everyday. not sure if it's leaking into the tank."

Bottom Line

Given the numerous functionality issues and poor tubing quality, it may be wise to consider other CO2 indicator options for your aquarium.
