red sea drop checker question

[vygec]

I picked up a new 'red sea' drop checker from ebay.
Now, i realise to make use of this efficiently i need to use 4dkh solution. The drop checker came with its own solution (blue in colour), is it safe to assume that this is ok to use with standard 4dkh solution as opposed to the premix one that AE sells?

It's hard to say i'm afraid. Did you just get one bottle of blue solution or a number of small vials?

Some companies, like Dennerle for instance sell the DC with a ready mixed solution in plastic viles....

If it's just one bottle then using a few drops with standard 4dkh water is fine.

Cheers

ive just got home and checked the bottle, the solution in the bottle is actually yellow
I was going by the colour of the drop checker in the tank
so i'll grab the premix that AE offers.
