is there a specific diameter, or reflective surface that is needed for DIY? spending $40 to $100 bucks seems a bit expensive. for what is a piece of plastic that is painted black/white, and some weight added to it, and a string attached.

=============
i no longer have a koi/goldfish pond or aquariums. so in that no longer have any test kits. and at moment being a big dumb dumb of what tests i need.
