Hello all I have an ice cap nano skimmer and just got a BRS c02 scrubber but haven’t noticed much if any difference in my ph since installing. I was thinking that my skimmer might not be strong enough to make use of it but I could be wrong. On my Apex it my ph has gone only from around 8.15 to 8.2 is this normal with the size of my skimmer? Is there anyway to make it work better?

Do you trust the pH reading? How big is the aquarium?
