I just got this set up a few hours ago. What a great little device it is. The instructions and drops that came with is were garbage but the checker is great. I made a 4dkh solution and then add API PH drops to it until the color was dark enough to read. I decided to evaporate my own water in order to ensure there were absolutely no other buffers (Phosphates, ect) besides carbonates in the solution. 2ml water and 2 drop API PH.

The solution started a nice dark blue (PH 7.6) and within 2 hours turned the telltale color of light green showing a nice 30+ppm of Co2 or a PH of 6.6ish. This little device will monitor my PH constantly for months before a new solution is needed.

I love it! fantastic!

No more PH testing for me!

I use these same ones, but I do use the drops that came with it.
(1ml 4dKh solution and 2 drops)

You're saying the PH drops are better to use? Thought they were the same thing? Interesting.

I don't know about the not testing PH anymore thing though. ;o)
