I turned my co2 scrubber into a recirculating co2 scrubber to help. The skim waste was leaking into co2 media reactor and destroying the media so I had to create a diy waste bin which I believe reduces efficiency of the reactor due to leaking air.

Exactly what I use alsoMassively cheaper to buy in bulk:
Jorgensen Laboratories JorVet Soda Lime, 5 Gallon | Med-Vet International
JorVet soda lime is a high-grade granular product that effectively absorbs carbon dioxide that is produced as an anesthesia by-product. It is a mixture of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 also known as lime plus a smaller amount of sodium hydroxide NaOH. Upon exposure to carbon dioxide CO2, the calcium...www.shopmedvet.com
That’s what I’m going to need to do is buy from that link! Big time savingswell that’s because you are paying 15$ to ship for everyone you order lol, use the link for bulk.
Another option is to look into an ERV system for your house like I did. I never have to buy co2 media again and ph stays higher then co2 media could ever get it. 8.4-8.55 solidI refilled my Co2 scrubber today. In another 2 weeks I will refill again to keep ph at desired levels. I’m using 1 bag of soda lime a month which equivalents to $300 a year. Is this Absurd or common?

Woa give me infoRealizing I plan to stay in this hobby a long time the $3000 was a no-brainer along with the added benefit of breathing healthier cleaner air for myself and my family
You can do a quick google or yahoo search and read a bunch about it. Here is just one site with some info. I will say that the Manufacturers of these devices do not mention much at all about PH because this is not intended for aquarium use it’s for households and the manufactures of them do not realize the benefits for aquariums or at least they don’t advertise it they only advertise it for cleaning the air which intern remove the CO2 raising ph.Woa give me info
Do you have a float switch on your skimmer?
NoDo you have a float switch on your skimmer?
I use a "prefilter" similar to what you do. I just have two of those BRS catridges in series. The first is empty and the second has the CO2 media. Zero air leakage. I don't get any skimmer sludge in the first canister just clear water. I use it to keep the media from getting saturated.I refilled my Co2 scrubber today.
