I’m always amazed when I see how much of an effect our (3 people and 1 dog) presence in the house has on the aquarium. We left Friday afternoon (March 18). BOOM the pH climbs. When return on Monday it will drop back down to the daily 8-8.15 swing. I wonder how much buffering capacity goes towards the CO2 in the house that we generate and diffuses into the water.
I don’t think I could ever achieve the same effect by pulling outside air to the skimmer because the rest of the air-water interface is not in contact with outside air. We are also not going to open all the windows in Florida. Especially as it warms up.
