I haven’t parted anything out yet, there’s been a lot of interest in the wildlife, so I’ll have to deal with pricing them individually if I can’t sell the package.

Wow, sorry to hear Jim. I understand the situation. Hope you can get rid of it. Let us know if you need anything else.

Sorry to hear your getting out, you have a beautiful tank. If it doesn’t sell whole enchalata, many of us here are lined up for the part out.

Sorry to hear you are leaving the hobby. If you opt to piece out the livestock please let me/us know.

[sup]5[/sup] Includes: CO2 Scrubber & ~ 2 1/2 Gal. of Soda Lime.

I’ve had a couple questions about the CO2 reactor included with the skimmer, so I thought it would be easier to use a picture, and save about 900 words. ;D

The main unit is a standard RO cylinder with a couple pieces of 1/2" tubing used for connectors. Insert is a standard 10" cartridge. Tube is standard 1/2" vinyl tubing. The elbow and coupling are standard 1/2" slip fit connectors, using the 1/2" tubing as connectors. The red piece is the top of my skimmer air intake muffler. Obviously the soda lime is placed in the 10" cartridge. Everything is dry fit.

Jim I’ve never seent this setup before,how does it work?is it just sucking air throught the soda ash? And that pulls co2from the air?

Yes, the air is drawn into the skimmer through the Soda Lime in the reactor, removing the CO2. Typically I don’t use it in the Spring and Fall when I can open some windows’ in the house, and redeploy it when I have to turn on the AC or heat.

Yea Jason that’s what it does hooked to your skimmer. Oops didn’t see Jim’s reply

Some idea as I have?with my skimmer pulling air from outside?

Yes, but if you don’t have easy access to an outside source of air, like me, then the C02 scrubber is another solution. I also use a Kalk drip which is a good balanced supplement for Ca and Alk, but has the secondary affect of utilizing some of the CO2 in my system, which helps keep the pH under control.

Updated list:

I was asked by a couple folks on another site for the actual pricing with and, what I would sell the item without supplies, so I’ll do the math and comply to the request here as well.
