TonyInVa November 19, 2020 Share November 19, 2020 Anyone using a CO2 scrubber. I was thinking of buying one to use during the winter as my ph goes down. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhOU November 19, 2020 Share November 19, 2020 I do, gets me about a .2 boost. I just converted a brs carbon reactor i already had. I run it recirculating which helps media last longer, usually about 6 weeksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalid November 19, 2020 Share November 19, 2020 I used to but took it offline because I went through media like crazy and it still didn’t get the PH level to were I wanted. I now have my skimmer line pulling air from outside and a separate skimmer pump pumping oxygenated air in to the sump also pulling air from outside. Does a way better job and is more consistent but I am still not at the PH levels I want.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 Maybe use a kalk stirrer instead? It adds alk and calcium in a balanced way and also scavenges CO2 from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthia November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 I use one. I could not get my PH above 7.8. Once I added it, it's now up to 8.1. I also have air line tube drawing outside air into my skimmer. I have had the airline on it for about six months with no change. As soon as I add the CO2 scrubber, it immediately moved up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyInVa November 20, 2020 Author Share November 20, 2020 I do use a Kalk Stirrer. Currently my ph isn't bad. According to my Apex the low has been around 8.1 at night and high is 8.3. But last Winter I remember it being around 7.8. I will see what my options are as far as running my skimmer intake outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefAddict November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 I just started, bumped my ph by .5 but media only lasted about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 I do but I have never replaced the media after installing. IMO they make a better skimmer silencer than anything and that's exactly the reason I keep it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
