Decided to finally get around and install my avast marine neck cleaner and co2 scrubber. my ph has been 7.8 to about 8.08 and trying to get it higher. i do run a geo 510 calcium reactor and 410 secondary chamber. so that may affect ph but not to sure on how much it will drop. And the neck cleaner to help keep clean and possibly improve skimming performance.
as about a week in and my ph is at 8.06-8.36
First i got my neck cleaner
i removed the squeegee three screws that hold the motor to the lid and the three brackets that hold the lid to the collection cup. So now you only have the lid on its own.
We now need to make a hole to install a nozzle
I used a steper dill bit to make one of the holes a little larger. just enough so i can run a tap
Since i didn't have a tap the correct size i used a bolt with same tread made a slit and used that. its a diy tread chaser hack
Run the tap all the way threw
Add some sealant to plumbers tape to help create a good seal
Now i tapped up the extra holes and filled with so E6000 so its nice and sealed up
Now i filled my two little fishy phosband reactor and filled up with co2 scrubber media from BRS
My avast marine on the nyos 160 cap
Everything finally hooked up and programed threw apex.
