Hi, i am thinking of installing an air exchanger in my living room/ reef tank room to help raise the PH.. i already use a protein skimmer , kalk reactor and co2 scrubber but still struggle with low PH 7.8 - 8.0... anyone install a room air exchanger and have good results? thanks.

I have not, but there are threads where people have installed an HRV. Searching on ERV or HRV will turn up most of them.

What about testing the CO2 in the room first to see if there is a problem? I bought a $24 monitor off of Amazon. I don't trust the accuracy of the numbers too much, but I can use it to measure relative differences between rooms, or between a room and outdoors. The model I bought isn't avilavble any longer, but this one is similar:
