This is my first post here, having spent most of my time looking on the tropical fish forums.
I have a Juwel Rio 125 which is pretty heavily planted. For the last 18 months I have used a DIY yeast CO2 system, but have just switched over to a pressurised system using a fire extinguisher.
Everything is up and running with no problems, at the moment the CO2 is running during the day only, and at a rate of 1 bubble every 2 - 3 seconds. I keep fish in the aquarium, so am concerned with the risk of too much CO2.
The final stage, which I am about to do is to add the drop checker.
I bought a drop checker and test solution in the link below from ebay.

I also bought 500ml of 4 dKH solution from Aqua Essentials.
So I am now ready to go, except, I am concerned that when I put the drop checker in, it could end up emptying the test solution into the tank. It came with a sucker, stick it to the glass, but what if it fails and the test solution ends up in the water?
I'm sure I must be missing something with this, but until I am happy that there is no risk, I am not keen to use the drop checker.
Any comments would be really appreciated
