Co2 scrubber not pushing enough air

[radreef02]

Co2 scrubber output to reefocto 110-s is not giving it enough air so the skimmer just overflows. Why ?

Does the overflow stop when you remove the air-intake from the scrubber? Check the media! Too much moisture sometimes turned the media into a solid block and might prevent airflow. Also, make sure the air hose is the same (or larger) ID than the skimmer hose and keep them as short as possible.

I’ll try this. Could be too much moisture . Do I need to leave it out to try . It might of got wet when I flipped the canister over

yes the overflow stops because the scrubber is restricting air

What scrubber do you have? Is the hose the same ID as Skimmer?
Not sure I understand what you meant: "Do I need to leave it out to try"
It is probably not a good idea to have restricted air for skimmer but you could try and fully open the skimmer output (or raise it up) then slowly tune it.

I don’t have a scrubber, just outside air. I have a Small jar outside, with Dacron-Charcoal-Dacron. 3/8” tubing up and over to a Homemade 1/2” PVC Manifold. Lee’s Rigid tubing out. Modified an Air Pump, by taking the base off, drilling and putting Lee’s Rigid in so it blows on the coils. Sealed it with Silicone Aquarium Caulk. Pressure side to my Skimmer cup, where my intake air is for the skimmer.

I meant leave out the Media to dry because I added a tbsp of water at the bottom and flipped it over sometimes to move it and that might of soaked into the media.

The media is probably spent if they got wet! Try to run the skimmer with out the media and see if you have enough flow.

Thank you

do I have to recirculate the air to the skimmer cup
