I just used a normal drill bit and it drilled very easily. My tops had round holes already. I have Nyos 120 which has long holes. If yours is like that also, I would do a small pilot hole first.Also what did you use to drill the hole in the acrylic lid? They have specific drill bits for acrylic but I wasn’t sure if that was necessary? Thinking about asking someone to print me a lid with the hole made in it...
It is an Icecap. I used the existing scrubber. the tubing is silicone 1/2OD and 3/8ID.Is that the icecap scrubber? Did you use the existing fittings it came with and if so what size tubing did you use?
Has anyone modified their Nyos 160 skimmer for a CO2 scrubber? Please post pics or what you did if you have.
I designed and printed this lid to fit over the Nyos 160 without having to drill holes or modifying the original skimmer. Works great for recirculating scrubber
I did exactly this and have had it running like this for 6+ months. Works beautifully and super simpleHas anyone modified their Nyos 160 skimmer for a CO2 scrubber? Please post pics or what you did if you have.
Hi,
How much did recirculating increase ph?
Recirculating didn’t increase the pH very much (maybe .1) - it just increased the longevity of the media due to the humidity. Kalkwasser has made the biggest difference for me. I use the IceCap kalkstirrer with a Versa pushing 2 liters per day through it (my daily evaporation rate).Hi,
How much did recirculating increase ph?
This is how I turned my Nyos 160 into a recirculating CO2 scrubber:
What you need is:
• 3/8" Bulkhead with Quick Connect
• 3/8" Mur-lock Stem Adapter Tube x Hose Stem
• 3/8" Silicone Soft Tubing (far more flexible than the usual tubing) is l
Got it. Thanks for the prompt reply.I can't do Recirculation since i am skimming very wet from dosing Aquaforest Pro Bio S and -NP Pro. However, the Intake line for the scrubber is taking fresh air from outside the house and then go straight to the skimmer Intake.
My pH peaks at 8.4 around 10AM drop to 8.2 about 2 hours after lights out 8PM
Which reactor do you have?Hi, could you let me know which line is attached to the in and out port on the canister?
