CO2 scrubber and Ultra Reef 160 skimmer

Gulfdigger · Sep 13, 2022

Hello everyone,
I got a IceCap CO2 scrubber installed on Ultra Reef 160 skimmer, due to I have a few relative moving in. Does anyone know the best configuration for this skimmer without modifying the Air silencer permanently? As of now I'm running the air line from the scrubber direct to the air fitting on the Venturi.

thanks,

As long as all the air being drawn in passes through the scrubber you should be fine.

i have the 160 and run a BRS two stage CO2 reactor right off the venturi too. works fine! i just took the silencer off for easier access to the venturi and cleaning. i run a short cannister on the BRS first chamber and fill it 3/4 with water so the air going in is a little moist and i get longer runs with my media. i can get almost three weeks before any significant drop in pH during the summer. when it's cooler and everything is locked up i get about two weeks before i need to change media
