Hi,

You will need to half fill the drop checker @bubble' with 4 dkh solution, then add 3 - 5 drops of the reagent supplied then situate drop checker 5 inch below water line, preferably at the opposite end of the tank from where CO2 is being injected.

Link below for 4 dkh solution, I believe you can make your own by adjusting the ph etc of tap water but this is easier and very cheap as you only replace it every 2 - 3 weeks really.

to add to that, blue means not enough co2, green is perfect and yellow is too much
