Bubble Counter Solution?

[mohican]

Can anything else be added to bubble counter to prevent evapration; or is adding water to bubble counter part of the maintenance of having CO2 system?

I always wondered about that, especially that GLA sells a bubble counter solution. I figured water was fine -- well that's what i use at least.

Here's that solution.. If you give it a try, give us a review to let us know if it works as advertised

I read that mineral oil will work and it doesn't evaporate. That's what I've bought to use in mine once I set everything up.

Apparently Glycerine is preferable... I just googled it up and found a thread on it.. But yes, Mineral Oil or Baby Oil (without scents) are okay too.

Vegetable Oil as Bubble Counter fluid?

I use GLA's bubble counter fluid, but INHAVE to replace it around ever month...it evaportates like crazy for me.
