As long as the container and lines are large enough to prevent added resistance/backpressure it should be fine. My tunze skimmer skimmer uses the Ozone port which requires a pump. I simply pump air through the reactor containing the soda lime - It works perfectly. I also add a bit of ROX 0.8 GAC to absorb any impurities.Awesome idea. I am so going to do this. Question though: My skimmer is air pump driven. I'm assuming I could drill only one hole at the bottom of the container to create a single in and out point and use it as an inline cartridge between the air pump and skimmer. Any serious flaw in my planning here?
nice write up!!! thanks!!! i just made mine.. my apex shows 8.19 ph as of now.. will check back in a few days with a graph..
thanks!
This was going to be my second option if running a line from outside into the skimmer intake didn't work. My tank is next to an external wall so I drilled a small hole to pass a half inch line straight into my skimmer and within a day my pH is at 8.3 during the day and 8.1 at night from maximum 7.8 during the day and 7.6 at night. If that's not an option when I move I'll try this. Thanks...
This is an old thread, does anyone have any recent experience with a CO2 scrubber?
I am curious for those plumbing a scrubber through their skimmers venturi. This is typically connnected through the skimmer cup to prevent clogging, anyways to avoid this?
+1Mine is still going strong and have had no adverse effects. However, I have mine connected to the air intake. I'm not sure how you would connect one to your venturi.

Even porting your skimmers air intake outside helps loads.
