Who uses one and how do you like it?
Can you drill a small hole to run the skimmer air intake outside?My sump and cabinets are door free, 4 people and two dogs on a super tight house. Can't open windows in colder months due to elderly father. Appreciate everyone's input though.
Nope, not my house.Can you drill a small hole to run the skimmer air intake outside?
Planning on the recirculating aspect, just need some tubing as the lid to my skimmer has 8 air holes in it.Oh it definitely works but it just depletes fast unless you can get it to recirculate the skimmer air. When I tried it, the ph went up fast then about a week later I lost some acros. Might not be related but keep your eye out!
just cover 7 with tape and use one for the tubing for the scrubber. it works great.if the ph goes to high you mite need a 1/2" electric solenoid. HSH-Flo 1/2" DN15 110-230VACPlanning on the recirculating aspect, just need some tubing as the lid to my skimmer has 8 air holes in it.
i had to put a solenoid on mines it goes way up. but i think it all depends on the skimmer pulling air. i have a reef octopus and i can tell you i get at day 8.4 and 8.2 at night and thats with the solenoid with out it it goes higher. never got this high without the scrubber. i even had a line outside before the scrubber and the highest was 8.15I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on a recirculating scrubber too. I always considered the gas exchange in my skimmer to be significantly beneficial. Any thoughts around the potential negative impacts of eliminating this gas exchange with a recirculating scrubber? I know some control it with a solenoid that’s pulls in ambient air periodically but I’ve read that some see their ph never gets high enough for that to kick in.
