I have a tank that is set up with an automatic water change system. Problem is I have no idea how much I am changing. I was wondering if there is an attachments that would show how many gph I am dripping?
 
A measuring jug and a wristwatch :)

Let the water drip into the jug, measure how long it takes to get a quart (or whatever), do some simple maths and you will know the GPH

Yes you can get flow meters, but cheap AND accurate are pretty much mutually exclusive ;)

or you can just fill up a gallon jug then there is no math, well very little math

True, but if he's only doing 1 gph then it's a pretty boring wait :popcorn:

How about.. 'an appropiate sized container' :D
