Total of the parts I used and posted here $79.93
First take and drill a hole in the top of the container ½” or however large you need it to bold one of the hose barbs in place. Next you will drill around 6 holes (aprox. 3/8” bit) in the center area of the base of the container (note do not push hard when drilling as this will cause the container to crack. ‬Next take and cut the foam to fit in the base of the container (this will keep the CO2 Media from falling out the new holes. Add the CO2 Media. Cut hose to the desired length and make sure not to cut it too short. Slide hose clamps on the both ends of the hose. Insert hose and clamp everything down. This will help to raise your PH and ORP levels. My numbers for ORP were super low. This has brought it up 100 points in 8 hours. I will post pics of the final product when I get home.
