CO2 Scrubber Questions

I recently purchased a CO2 scrubber from BRS to attach to my skimmer intake.

The barbs are smaller than the hose on my BK Mini 200, so I anticipate replacing them with the right size.

Questions: Do I attach the output of the scrubber to the silencer on my skimmer? On the intake to the scrubber, what do I do? Do I run a hose to it at all? Do I need an air pump to push air through the scrubber? Will skimmer performance change significantly?

I'm probably complicating things but want to do it right.

Thanks,

Adam

Can you please provide a link to the CO2 Scrubber you are referring to? I cannot find it on the BRS website.

Thanks,

It's titled Universal Air Filter and can be seen here:

I bought this media for the filter:

I appreciate the help,

Adam
