I actually bought it from drsfostersmith. Looks like they're clearing it out and brs doesn't have it in stock. Wonder if it's being pulled...

You can get that style housing from any waterworks supply store, it's a standard 2.5x10" filter housing.

Default filter canister..

I am looking for a larger one.... or adding a second one in line..

My soda lime will last about a week before it is depleted..

may be different for other skimmers,,,

Default scrubber..

yes 24/7
not sure if it makes much difference at night...

my tank really rises in pH during "Lights ON" time..
going to try to bypass at night and see if that makes much difference..
