The UNS Drop Checker is an essential tool for monitoring CO2 levels in a planted aquarium. Available in two styles, the UNS Drop Checker is simple to install and provides accurate readings. To install, fill the drop checker with the provided solution and place it on the opposite end of the CO2 diffuser. Drop checkers work by changing colors based on the tank's pH level. When CO2 levels are elevated, pH drops respectively. This change is then indicated by the color of the solution inside of the drop checker allowing hobbyists to take quick and simple readings of CO2 levels within the desired aquarium.
