To early to tell.Did your ph go up any?
Nice! My only comment is that it needs to be in an area that keeps it dry. Wet paper filters do not allow air to pass through them.
If I had a 3D printer I would probably find numerous way to use it for my tank hahaThis is in a covered area under my deck. We will see how it does. If it gets wet, I will 3D print cover for the filter.
Was just thinking that and also could humidity be a factor in any way.I would recommend a activated carbon filter as well. Been there, done that. Skimmer will pollute and poisoned your tank if outside air is contaminated.
I’ve actually been considering doing this but wasn’t sure how much of a pH increase you get from scrubbing outside air.You can also put an air scrubber in between using soda lime to scrub the air
I can see it now! Nice and probably all that is necessaryI just drilled a hole in the wall behind my tank and ran my tubing through the hole. At first I attached a piece of larger pvc pipe to the tube that I filled with carbon, but later removed it. Ive been running it outside with no extra filter for a few years and I’ve not had an issue so far.
I will say that mine is under a covered porch and there are no very close neighbors so I don’t worry too much about insecticides being sprayed near it.
I don’t have a picture of it but just imagine a piece of vinyl siding with a piece of tubing sticking out an inch or so.
I bet the media would last longer, but then you have media cost now for a point or 2 of PH and more equipment maintenance? Is it worth itI’ve actually been considering doing this but wasn’t sure how much of a pH increase you get from scrubbing outside air.
Idk but I think I’m going to try it. If it ends up not being worth it I will just convert the canister to another stage for my rodi or a carbon reactor.I bet the media would last longer, but then you have media cost now for a point or 2 of PH and more equipment maintenance? Is it worth it
