Hello Randy!
So my question is about artificially maintaining a constant PH at 8.2x by way of combining CO2 absorption media with a solient valve to make sure it doesn't go over the desired PH level-
My current PH level ranges 8.04-8.16. With the media, it could easily elevate it past 8.3...
I have a new 5 gallon bucket of color changing SodaLime for use in CO2 scrubbers, usually associated with a Calcium Reactor to combat low pH issues.
I was buying it from BRS in smaller batches and found it at a local medical supply.
Since then I have sold my Calcium Reactor and as a result I...
I started this reefer 250 December 2016 after buying it in October 2016. I started adding fish early 2017 and corals a few months later. In December 2017 a Sea Cucumber died in my tank and released Holothurotoxin which is what most Sea Cucumbers do when they die unbeknownst to me. Well that...
so today for the first time since setting up My tank I have people over. Windows where closed and AC turned on. My ph went into a free fall from around 8.1 to 7.7. How acceptable is this swing ? I cannot run a o2 line outside and I was looking into co2 scrubbers but the media could get...
I just wanted to share my experience with my CO2 scrubber I installed 3 days ago. Nothing but impressive. My average ph was between 7.8-8.0 max. I've tried opening windows, running tubing outside, soda ash, have a decent sized refugium, and some kalk without sustained results.
I pulled the...
