A house full of people and pets affects the pH in your tank. In fact, it’s usually the cause of low pH in a home aquarium. An experiment you can perform to find out if this is the culprit behind your low pH is to open up the windows and doors in your home for a day to let the excess CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e escape. After 24 hours, test your aquarium’s pH. If the pH level has risen, you can be pretty confident that the CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e load in your home is high and that a CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e scrubber will help. Since keeping the windows and doors of your home open all the time isn’t an option for most people, a CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e scrubber is an easy and affordable way to remove CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e gas so that it doesn’t suppress the pH of your aquarium water.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInstalling the IceCap CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Scrubber is Super Easy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe IceCap CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Scrubber can be installed on just about any aquarium with a protein skimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJust connect the tubing from the air intake of your protein skimmer to the output side of the CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e scrubber.

Test the pH level of your aquarium water hourly (or as frequently as possible) during the first few days of use. Once the pH level begins to drop (usually after 2-4 weeks), it’s time to replace the media inside. Most carbon dioxide removal media changes colors once it’s depleted, so you’ll likely have a visual indicator as well to help you determine when it’s time to swap it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRunning a CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Scrubber Helps Raise and Maintain pH\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe IceCap CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Scrubber will not only raise your pH by a couple of points, but it will also help maintain it at higher levels. Having low pH results in slower coral growth, so by boosting it with the IceCap CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e scrubber, you’ll be able to achieve faster growth and experience fewer pH swings. With your pH level stable, coral growth and nutrient uptake will increase. Calcium and magnesium consumption are also likely to increase as you raise the pH level, so be sure to continue testing your major water parameters along the way to ensure your reef flourishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-content-type=\"heading\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"623D401B234BC\"\u003eIceCap CO2 Scrubbers: 3 Sizes to Choose From\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"623D401B234C6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr data-pb-style=\"623D401B234CF\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B234D8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pb-style=\"623D401B234E1\"\u003e Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B234EA\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pb-style=\"623D401B234F3\"\u003eSmall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B234FC\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pb-style=\"623D401B23505\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2350E\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pb-style=\"623D401B23517\"\u003e Large\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23520\"\u003e Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23528\"\u003e IC-CO-50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23531\"\u003e IC-CO-100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2353A\"\u003e IC-CO-200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23543\"\u003e Body Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2354C\"\u003e 4in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23555\"\u003e 4in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2355E\"\u003e 5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23567\"\u003eMedia Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2356F\"\u003e~0.5kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23578\"\u003e~1kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23581\"\u003e~2kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2358A\"\u003eFootprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B23592\"\u003e4.5 x4.5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B2359B\"\u003e4.5 x 4.5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235A4\"\u003e5.2 x5.2in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235AD\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235B6\"\u003e6.5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235BF\"\u003e9.5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235C8\"\u003e11.5in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235D1\"\u003eHang-On Bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235D9\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235E2\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-pb-style=\"623D401B235EB\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IceCap","offers":[{"title":"Small CO2 Scrubber","offer_id":45006014840885,"sku":null,"price":103.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium CO2 Scrubber","offer_id":45006014873653,"sku":null,"price":127.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large CO2 Scrubber","offer_id":45006014906421,"sku":null,"price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/1731\/3589\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_cd58049f-db44-4042-9d92-95c5c1a173cb.jpg?v=1771522331","url":"https:\/\/www.queencityreefs.com\/products\/co2-scrubber","provider":"Queen City Reefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
