Want to thank everyone who talked me out of buying a CO2 scrubber

[OldReefGuy]

Took the advice and drilled a hole thru the wall instead. Made it look pretty.....
PH went from 7.8/8.0 to 8.2 the next day. Monitoring now to see if I see any trends (up / down)...going to record outside temps, and PH inside tank and see if there are any trends....
Thanks....saved me spending $100+on buying a scrubber....

You can make a carbon or floss filter for the outside line, that way you don't get any friendly outdoor visitors (ants, bees, etc). Also, filters out our lovely valley air.

Noted.....I added the skimmer silencer to the outside to lower this risk, but will work on a foam type "filter".

Great idea — I’m the “other guy” who talked you into getting a recirculating CO2 scrubber. My pH was always low, even after I drilled a hole thru the stucco. Glad it’s working for you - this is way more economical and simple!

Yeah, pretty much anything that prevents particulates and critters from being drawn in.
