JBL ProAquaTest CO2-pH Permanent Refill – Indicator Solution Top-Up
Refresh your drop checker with the JBL ProAquaTest CO2-pH Permanent Refill. This top-up indicator/reference solution restores accurate, continuous CO2 monitoring in freshwater planted aquariums, helping you fine-tune injection and maintain stable pH.
Why choose the refill?
- Maintain accuracy: Fresh solution means reliable colour changes.
- Cost-effective: Replace liquid only, reuse your existing indicator bell.
- Easy to use: Fill, mount, and read at a glance (blue/green/yellow).
What’s included
- CO2 indicator / reference solution (refill bottle)
Note: This is a refill pack. It does not include the in-tank indicator (drop checker) or suction cup. Use with your existing JBL ProAquaTest CO2-pH Permanent device.
How to use
- Remove the indicator from the tank and discard old solution.
- Rinse with RO/distilled water (no detergents).
- Fill to the mark with the refill indicator solution.
- Reattach inside the aquarium, away from direct CO2 bubbles and strong flow.
- Allow up to ~2 hours to equilibrate, then read the colour:
- Blue – CO2 low
- Green – Ideal (~20–30 mg/L)
- Yellow – CO2 high
Pro tips
- Refresh the solution every 3 – 4 weeks or after large water changes.
- Place at mid-depth with gentle circulation for representative readings.
- Keep KH stable for consistent CO2 behaviour; test KH regularly.
