I have been thinking of getting a CO2 scrubber and I think I have found the one I want at a good price. My PH drops so much of the evening when I get home from work and it kills me seeing such a big swing in it everyday. The only thing I hate about a CO2 scrubber is that the media doesn't have a very long life a span and its not the cheapest thing in the world either. I have been trying to think of a way to have it off when the tank doesnt need it. I think I can get a Apex relay and fix the problem.
I am thinking that I can split the line going to my skimmer and have the air intake going to the motor come from the normal place of the silencer and the CO2 scrubber as well. I join them with the relay. I set the Apex the read the PH probe and when the PH is low have it switch to the scrubber and the it gets high have it switch from the scrubber. I think it could make the media last longer and save some money.
WHat are your thoughts on this idea and if you have done something other then this let me know if you have a better idea. You never know until you ask and you guys might have a better idea and someone else out there might have been thinking of how they could do what I just said and I might have helped someone putting this on here. thanks guys.
