I have the Dupla version of this indicator and it seems to work very well.
It's a rough guide of course, but it is pretty accurate. They basically come
with some indicator liquid which you mix with your tank water. Dupla
recommend you change the indicator liquid about every month but it seems to
remain accurate longer than that for me. I don't mess with my tap water - if
you do then this may change the frequency at which you have to change the
indicator liquid - the water you mix with the indicator must have the same
carbonate hardness as the water in your tank.
I got mine for AUS$25 which at a rough guess would be about USD$15, although
I know Dupla gear is hard to get hold of over there.
