Can I use CO2 scrubber media in a bag like carbon and GFO?

[HawkeyeDJ]

I know it is apparently more efficient and effective to run carbon and GFO in reactors, but I have an AIO and just place bags in my back chamber and they seem to do fine. I don't run a skimmer. Can I do the same with CO2 scrubber media or does it require a scrubber?

My pH runs consistently 7.6 -7.8. I'd like to get it above 8.0 for better coral growth.

I know not to use excessive carbon, because too much is not more effective, just wasteful. And I know using too much GFO can bottom out my PO4. Are there similar concerns with CO2 scrubber media?

No very bad it will dissolve and it’s caustic.

CO2 scrubber media is not supposed to go in the water. Only air is supposed to flow through it.
