DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml is a specially formulated CO₂ indicator designed to work with a glass or acrylic drop checker. CO₂ is one of the key elements for healthy plant growth, but both too little and too much can cause problems. DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml helps you see at a glance whether your CO₂ level is in the safe, optimal range.
By changing colour according to the dissolved CO₂ concentration, DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml gives a scientifically accurate reading of CO₂ content in your aquarium water.
Why Use DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml?
From the product details, DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml is designed because:
- CO₂ is one of the key elements for plant growth
- Insufficient CO₂ results in improper growth of aquatic plants
- Over‑supply of CO₂ is dangerous to fish and other aquatic life
- It is important to constantly monitor CO₂ to ensure the correct amount is supplied
- A bubble counter can only predict CO₂ by counting bubbles from the supply
- DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml works with an indicator device to provide a scientifically accurate reading of CO₂ content
- The solution clearly indicates the concentration of CO₂ by changing colour
- With this indicator solution, monitoring CO₂ content is more efficient and accurate
In short, DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml turns your drop checker into a reliable CO₂ gauge instead of guessing from bubble rate alone.
How DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml Works
DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml is used inside a CO₂ indicator device (drop checker):
-
Fill the drop checker
- Add the recommended amount of DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml into the drop checker.
- Make sure no tank water mixes directly with the solution inside the checker.
-
Place in the aquarium
- Hang or suction the drop checker inside the tank, below the water surface.
- Avoid placing it directly above the diffuser or in dead spots.
-
Allow time to respond
- Over the next 1–2 hours, DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml will react to the CO₂ level in the water.
- The solution will change colour to indicate the approximate CO₂ concentration.
-
Read the colour
- Typically:
- Blue – low CO₂ (insufficient for strong plant growth)
- Green – good CO₂ level (target range for most planted tanks)
- Yellow – high CO₂ (potentially dangerous for fish)
By watching the colour of DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml, you can fine‑tune your CO₂ injection for healthy plants and safe livestock.
Benefits of DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml for Planted Tanks
Using DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml helps you:
- Avoid CO₂ guesswork based only on bubble counts
- Protect fish and shrimp from CO₂ overdosing
- Optimise plant growth by keeping CO₂ in the ideal range
- Quickly see if changes to your CO₂ system are working
- Maintain a more stable, predictable planted aquarium
For anyone running pressurised CO₂, DYMAX Indicator Solution 10ml is a simple upgrade that makes monitoring easier and more precise.
