Co2 Level

[ikon]

How can I tell if I have the right amount of co2 ?

Is there any test kit I need to have ?

I have a co2 indicator . But Im not sure if thats good enough to get a good accurate reading .

You can calculate CO2 in a tank by measuring the KH and pH of your tank.

Here is a good chart. Find your kH and pH to determine your CO2

You can also use a drop checker. Simply Google drop checker.

Are you using a Red Sea CO2 Indicator? If so, this is actually a drop checker. If filled with a KH reference solution it should give you very accurate CO2 levels.
