Been playing around and I have a prototype for a co2 scrubber. It’s massive, I think it may end up holding 3-3.5 lbs of soda ash.

Very cool
Have you tested it out and see how efficient the media interact with the airflow?
I have an Icecap Medium (I believe about 2lbs of media). I noticed that it is more effective and efficient if I only filled it up 1/2 way. Of course I have to refill but the media are more evenly spent (color change), pH stay up higher and longer (vs. Completely filled)

I am still in the r&d phase. Trying to make proper fitment and seals. After I have that it will be a series of tests to determine the best way to make air flow through it evenly and properly.
