I was thinking how a drop checker works and how it is a great way to measure Co2 because we measure the CO2 through a reference solution instead of the Aquarium water which may have fluctuating KH and or sources of carbonate that can throw off the PH/ KH relationship. The problem with drop checkers is that it gives you a ballpark idea of how much Co2 you have through subjective interpretation of the colors, also some PH chemicals may be a little different than others and etc.. I'm thinking that by replacing the PH chemical with a PH probe would we not get the best accuracy? Also the probe will last longer/ need less cleaning since it will be isolated from the Aquarium water.
Anyone try anything like this before? Any thoughts?
