Hi all. I am running the below setup and I’m hoping someone here has some experience with it. I’m getting way too much moisture, to the point where water builds up in the line going from the protein skimmer lid to the CO2 scrubber. To the point where my media, which was purple and ready to be swapped, turned back to white. Any help is appreciated!

I personally run 2 canisters in series, using the first canister as strictly as a moisturizer collection chamber then running a line to the media chamber.

Ahh ok, that may be what i need to do. Thank you for the quick response!
 
I have a T in my intake line to my scrubber positioned in the lowest point. The bottom of the T is a line that is submerged in the tank so condensed liquid deposits into the tank befpre getting to the scrubber. Then I ignore the color of the media and just watch if the pH swings start growing too big.
 
Always a learning curve when adding nee equipment! I wonder if my media is shot
