Started my CO2 scrubber about a year ago. I use a BRS reactor and hooked it up to my skimmer air intake. I ran the other end of the CO2 reactor to the back of my stand (see pics) hoping to get "fresher" air. I am unable to pull outside air. I live in FL my A/C is ALWAYS on which builds up excess levels of CO2 in my house.
I have a 200gal system and have to change out the media every 14 days.
My pH levels before the scrubber would drop to 7.8 at night and barely get over 8.0 during the day. Now my pH levels stay above 8.0 at night and will peak just under 8.2.
