So I installed the CO2 scrubber this afternoon and hit a new pH high of 8.24.
I've heard the CO2 scrubbers can be too effective...so I'm monitoring closely and will take it offline if it continues to climb.
Anyway, my pH average is still 8.15 as I've been between 8.06 and 8.22 over the last several days...
"too effective" may mean higher than your target, but I've never seen a low pH tank get to a pH too high using a scrubber alone.
