Co2 Scrubber

[X-37B]

Hey Roger, the 9430 is a true Beast! I am going to attatch a co2 scrubber to the ozone port.
What would you recommend for liters per hour pumped through the scrubber.
My system is at 7.7 through the night and 8.2 during lights on.
Looking for a .1-.2 night time boost.
Would running it at night only make sense?
Thanks

I would like to see an icreased ph on the bottom end. It can get to 7.6 at times. No issues but I would like 7.8 bottom end.
7.6 is less than Ideal so we will see.
Tank runs 8.2 when ligjts are on.
Open the door outside and it goes to 8.3.

I use an Alita 15A placed outside on my porch, it runs 24/7, you will need a fairly large air pump and while the scrubber would further increase the pH, outside air alone is fairly effective and free. I might try the air pump alone first.

Thanks. How would you setup outside air? An airline run to the ozone port from the air pump outside? I might try that first.

Exactly, my tank is fairly close to an exterior wall, so I drilled through with a long 1/4" drill bit, the hose fits very tight so it is pretty much self sealing.

Thank you. Mine backs up to the garage so a small hole it is. I can run the line outside .

To get the hose through, I found a wooden skewer worked perfectly, the kind for shishkabobs, it inserts into the hose and you can then push it through and pull on it once you are through, otherwise the fit is too tight to just push the air hose through.

Thanks again! I will give that a go.
