My guess is that the people who can afford these ridiculous tanks can also afford to pay for aquarium services to maintain them. I do find it a little alarming that they don't explain how they get...

Drop checker solution

Bought one of the Fluval drop checkers, with the pre-made solution. Says the solution should last 2-4 weeks or whatever. How do I know when it's no good any more? Will it stop changing color or...
