Anyone use this for their CO2 scrubber? Works out cheaper than the 1kg Icekap version media......

I’ve been using their product with great success. However, I bought the 5g one directly from their site, slightly cheaper than Amazon.

Yes — saw your note to @Reefer0708. He’s a great guy — I bought something from him before. Anyway, hope you do recirculating? That should extend the media’s life by 3-4x

If you’re going to recirc — make sure that your skimmer can auto shut off if full and not suck all those media back into the tank — total tank nuke!

Create a loop — have skimmer suck air thru the media and return from skimmer cup back into the scrubber.

Ahhh....understood. Does the cup then need to be air-tight and Will I need an air-dryer then on the return? Otherwise I'm sure that over time, moisture will get into media area.

No no -- you're making this harder than it is! No extra tools needed. Just run tubings as pictured.

Check this out:

First, the moisture entering the chamber is actually welcomed/required to prolong the media's lifespan. I've covered up (with duct tapes) the holes on top of the skimmer's collection cup.

PM if you have any questions and we can go thru it over the phone if you have further questions.
