BRS CO2 Scrubber Part 1


I have heard a lot of success stories from reefers using CO2 scrubbers to boost PH and encourage coral growth. My tank currently swings between 7.80 in the mornings and 8.00 by lights out.

Day 1 with the scrubber installed pushed the PH to 8.10 by the end of the day with alkalinity at 9.3. Observations and results to come
