CO2 Scrubber

[Treebeard]

I am thinking of building a CO2 scrubber to raise my pH which I have always had issues with in the winter. BRS sells this canister: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/universal-air-filter.html
Anybody see anything similar for sale in Canada?

I was running a TLF 150 with their CDX media for while. Worked well and easy to get the bits.

You bought the media from BRS? I was thinking it may be available from a local dive shop as well because it is used in rebreathers.

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.

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,,,

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will check out the local water softener place.

Do you run your scrubber 24x7 ?

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..
