IceCap Co2 scrubber installation

Ya that’s how I have mine as well. Pulling thru skimmer. As far as what size tubing, it’s whatever the typical vinyl tubing is at Home Depot for evacuation pumps. Looks like mine is 3/8” ID

Here is a pic of my wonky setup with my moisture trap before it

It could hook to an air pump but for best results your skimmer intake should pull from the scrubber.

I’ve got a nano tank without a skimmer. I’ve read in other threads that people have had some success with a pump and an air stone.

I know this is an older post, but I came air as I am having an issue and your post here got my attention. I have a Reef Octo Hob 2000 skimmer, and purchased a small Ice Cap scrubber. When I hooked it up, based on what little info I confine, my skimmer will not operate correctly when hooked up to it. It is still making some air bubbles, but not enough umph to get the skimmer goin. Any ideas? Do I have too much media in the scrubber? Can’t really change the pump on the skimmer. I am at a loss.

You could try taking some media out and see if that helps..

I got it squared away, but thank you. It actually had just a bit too much water. I only had 1/4” in the bottom, but apparently that was too much, cuz it is working fine now.
