cant run outside air brother theres no windows lol
How do u make it recirculating? Its the reef octopus 200 INt
Is there any downside for recorculating?
none that i can think of. but @Randy Holmes-Farley can likely give you a better answer.
there are many videos on youtube. if you search the forum you can likely find a thread of someone with the same skimmer.
I need more tubing to hook it up? Do i need special tubing or something like that would work? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/black-1-2-polyethylene-ro-tubing-mur-lok.html
Hammer drill a hole in the block and use great stuff to seal around the line!
clear tubing would be better so you can see the moisture. too much moisture will ruin or use up your co2 media quicker.
Basically, the goal of "recirculating" is to create a loop from the skimmer's air intake -> CO2 scrubber -> skimmer cup. Just be 100% certain that your skimmer will stop and not suck in the CO2 media should it overflow. It's like pouring kalk directly into the tank -- total tank nuke!
Wait im confused when does tje totel tank nuke happen? Wjen tje skimmer stops working?
No -- when your skimmer sucks air and CO2 media thru its intake! So you need to to stop the skimmer if/when the cup is full. You're recirculating air thru that skimmer cup, right?
This is what I use since my skimmer doesn't have a safety mechanism.
I have the reef octopus 200INT. And this is what i bougjt for it to recirculate https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/co2-scrubber-skimmer-lid-reef-octopus.html and my skimmer have auto switch when it fills up and about to overflow it shuts the motor is that what u mean?
Yes this is what everyone is referring to.
I bought a 2nd brs co2 scrubber for the purpose of a moisture catch and made sure the air line between them had an upward arch to prevent moisture from traveling between the two as well.
Wait so i have to another scrubber just for moisture this is getting expensive man. The co2 scrubber i bougjt have a valvr for bleeding in case high ph. Wouldnt that help with moisture
