I’m actually running two canisters. I’m not certain how much they hold but I have two of these https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-u...-scrubber.html

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.
Thanks.

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.
