When the drop checker is submerged in the aquarium, the carbon dioxide will outgas from the aquarium water into the airspace of the drop checker and will eventually be absorbed into the indicator solution. The carbon dioxide gas will seek a point of equilibrium between the indicator solution and the aquarium water. As equilibrium is achieved, the color of the indicator solution inside of the drop checker will change based on the concentration of CO2 in the aquarium water.

Instruction:
1. Turn drop checker up-side-down.
2. Place 5 drops of test solution into the drop checker.
3. Refill aquarium water to the level line.

The relationship between CO2 and pH:
When CO2 dissolves in water a small portion of it combines with the water to form Carbonic Acid. As more CO2 dissolves and combines with water, the more the pH will drop. pH is an upside-down measurement, a pH rise from 6 to 7 indicates a tenfold decrease in the acid concentration, a pH drop from 6 to 5 indicates a tenfold increase in the acid concentration.
