Separate container to catch any skimmate that gets through the line. It’s so the media doesn’t get soaked.Not sure I’m positive what I’m looking at. Is it just a recirculating scrubber on a skimmer? If I’m right that is a very unusual looking, I’m assuming diy, skimmer.
Ah okay. I noticed the skimmate container but didn’t realize it was for the scrubber, even though the line is coming from below the scrubber.Separate container to catch any skimmate that gets through the line. It’s so the media doesn’t get soaked.
I recently ordered a big 16 kg container from Ebay as the small bag I bought worked wellFor me I still haven’t ordered any of the Jorvet soda lime. I procrastinated on purchasing it and now I can’t find it for as cheap as I did when I posted this thread. I did just find another bag of BRS media that I bought at the same time as the first bag, and I just put it in the scrubber about an hour ago. I’m trying to decide if I want to stick with BRS media and assume the first bag(s) were from a bad batch.
I may get the bucket but I am still wanting to try out a smaller bag first. I’m hoping to eventually catch the same 12 lbs for $40 that I found before.I recently ordered a big 16 kg container from Ebay as the small bag I bought worked well
What brand ? Woah that is cheap let us know too !I may get the bucket but I am still wanting to try out a smaller bag first. I’m hoping to eventually catch the same 12 lbs for $40 that I found before.
It was the JorVet stuff that you can buy on eBay. When I first made the post they had four 3 lb bags for $40, which honestly is only slightly cheaper per pound than the 5 gallon jug that most people buy.What brand ? Woah that is cheap let us know too !
Sorry for the lack of a reply. I have to say option 1) is not working out very well at all. That is skimmer recirculating output to empty canister to media canister to skimmer input. The media still gets way too wet. I've tried switching the in/out on the empty canister too but no help. I never get any actual skimmate in the empty canister so that is good. I've just pulled the skimmer recirculating feed to the empty canister(option 2). I suspect that will run just fine without wetting the media but less of a pH bump.Any update on how that has worked out?
