CO2 Scrubber/Best suppliers of sodalime
I just bought two CO2 scrubbers from BRS and will be setting them up this weekend. My hope is to get my pH stable above 8.3 to increase overall coral growth.
Obviously the BRS option is pretty pricey. I am looking into medical grade options to cut down on costs. Does anyone have any sites or companies they recommend? I am going to run two canisters in hopes of helping to extend the life of the media. Any other suggestions? |
Skip the medical grade. Try a local dive shop.

My understanding is it is used in some kind of dive equipment. In my field we use a lot of sofa lime and dive shops have proven to be a good source. But I don't know the details of what they actually use it for.

I got my 5 gallon bucket at Airgas
It was like 70-80 bucks |

I definitely noticed a PH increase while using it. I used it on the tank with both inside air (had a HOB skimmer first) then on outside air through the above skimmer. I hope it keeps working out for you. Sounds like your getting the results you were after. That’s awesome. Stay dry. |

I was getting a range from 7.8-8.3 which felt like a strong swing. This is with me running lights opposite the display on my 75g refugium. My pH also has its lowest points midday which makes no sense to me?!?!? To me this entire experiment will be continued based on two things. The health of the corals and the media costs. If two canisters last a month or more I can see it becoming permanent. |
My scrubber bumped 11pm from 7.63 to 7.8....

If I am running a Trident method on my 35-gallon cube, would you suggest running a CO2 scrubber to help with ph?
