My skimmer is already vented to a hole in the house. But when my wife and I leave for vacation the PH jumps 0.2 which inturn makes my corals explode with growth. Every time we come back they are 2x size. Alk use goes up 30%+.

Would adding a fresh air system like an ERV or something make my PH stay high? Its comical how quickly the ph raises without us here.

Thanks
 
They’re not cheap but I’ve seen a few people on here use them.. I haven’t myself so I’m not sure how well but maybe this bump will get one in here.
 
It is on my list to get one. Need to figure out how I want it installed and how big.
Not hard to tell when we were on vacation.
