My current skimmer, from SCA, is hooked up to the largest IceCap CO2 scrubber. I run an airline from the IceCap to the outside. I see virtually no change in my pH from when I have the outside air drawn in to when I disconnect that airline. So I'm wondering if the issue might be my skimmer and a new skimmer might work better for tightly drawing in outside air (through the scrubber). Does anyone have any experience and recommendations with skimmers that, when drawing air from outside, you see an appreciable increase in your pH value? I was looking at LIfeReef and the two my Maxspect. Thanks in advance!
Edit 1: When I open my windows, the pH appreciable increases. The pH ranges from 7.6 to 7.9 with the windows closed to 7.98 to 8.1 with the windows open. So one would conclude that my pH is lower when my house is closed up; hence, the thought that pulling in outside aire into the skimmer SHOULD increase my pH even with the windows closed.
