I run a co2 scrubber on my skimmer and wondering if anyone else has this issue. Whenever I feel like the media is exhausted and replace it, it takes almost a week or so to start working effectively again. Currently this media I’ve had going to 2 weeks. Last week ph never peaked above 8.3 and the drop at night is more. Now this week it’s consistently peaking in high 8.3s and doesn’t drop as low. Everytime I replace it the cycle restarts. Could I just replace half and see if it works? Not sure why this is. Not a huge deal just curious. Anyone else experience this? Scrubber is brs with their media. Thanks all
 
Might be the humidity in the container. It seems to need to build up which probably is the issue. Do you drip some water at the bottom of the co2 scrubber?

I don’t know how to drip water into it. Is there a way. I put about 15 ml of water in it every fews days when it dries up
