Deltec 600i skim Co2 scrubber options?

[Andresnyc93]

Hello fellow reefers!

I just got a new skimmer for my system and was wondering if anyone out there has this skimmer hooked up to a Co2 scrubber?
I have a universal Co2 from BRS but the barb fittings are 3/8" and deltec recommends a 7/10mm tubing.
Is there a way to hook these two up?

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I am also using Deltec 600i but I have Icecap CO2 scrubber. I got two stem to barb connector for CO2 scrubber and 1/4 ID silicone tubing to connect the two. I also got the CO2 re-circulator to extend the life of the media.

This is actually very helpful! I really appreciate the pictures as well.
I see you gave up the emergency overflow?
Also is this the icecap small or medium Co2 scrub?
Last question, where'd you order the recirculating collection cup attachment?

Thanks so much.

Yes - overflow protection is not there but I don't think it's a big issue.
I'm using a medium one.
I ordered the recirculating ring from fishofhex. https://fishofhex.com/collections/skimmer-co2-scrubber-attachment

what size stem to barb connector did you get?
Ordering the ring as well since my media wears out pretty quickly from the lack of fresh air in the room my tank is in

I got John Guest Stem Barb Connector - 3/8 OD Stem x 1/4 ID Barb. For tubing, I got Silcon Silicone Tubing 1/4 ID x 3/8 OD. Both from freshwatersystems.com.

Prior to the recirculating ring, my media lasted only a week. Now it’s been a month and they are about half way depleated.

I was tempted to get the Deltec skimmer but giving up the overflow option is not possible for me as in the past I had a few accidents and really dont want this to happen again. Looking into the redsea skimmer kit unless there is something out there which does the job
