DIY Co2 Scrubber

Yup got it thank you I’m going to give this a try!

So, I was able to open the media cannister today. There is moisture in the cannister itself, however it does not get to the media.

Just make sure you’re using one of those DI canisters.

Also, I noticed that only a small fraction of the media has started to turn purple. I have a feeling the media is going to last quite some time. I live in a very high CO2 environment as well. Our house is very tight.

Ya my media lasts for months, the problem is that it gets destroyed when it gets wet, unless I empty it every day it gets wet, trying to figure out how to let it go longer without having to empty

How do you have it connected to the skimmer to draw air?

I have mine into one of the holes in the top of the cup, however, at first I had all the other holes plugged. This time I took the tape of the other holes, and wondering if this is helping keep the moist air from going into the co2 scrubber. Some one else told me to add a T or Y and tape the one side and put a pin hole in it.
