anyone ever try a DYI forced draft or an induced draft co2 degasifier. after some reading they sound to be more effective at removing co2 then using a air pump and stone in a degassing tube. here is what a forced draft looks like with fan on bottom, a induced would have a fan on top to draw air up with vents at the bottom. they both work the same for effectiveness and would work. force is used mostly used when you have corrosion causing gas in the water. so induced would work best for this application and giving a smaller foot print as it dont need to have a fan on the side. i have also read that putting the degasifier after the cation and before the anion would be best. most reefers has mixed bed resin and these can still be used before the mixed bed.. i will be running a split resin bed system so it will be placed between the cation and anion, here is some more reading and explains to place it between the cation and anion. whats your thoughts?
