Hi all,
I've done some searching on dissolved oxygen meters, and they look a bit expensive. I'm wondering if there is any value in home test kits sold by companies like Sera and Salifert?
Here's my use case: My largest display tank has a very large amount of botanicals, including a piece of spider wood that takes up maybe 3/4 the width of the tank. I have floating plants (which don't appreciate high water flow) and fish that also don't appreciate high flow. So I run a sponge filter at a pretty low flow rate and keep the bubbles/output contained to that corner of the tank with water sprite and a floating plant corral (airline tubing). I'd like to know if there's enough dissolved oxygen content for the fish.
Thanks,
Ben
