Randy great write up. I live in south Florida need I say more. I might be able to run a line in the attic and then outside but my concern is the temps in the attic is over 100 in the summers which the line needed a to run through about 40 feet. Then to the outside air. I am afraid after a all day job of getting this done my tank temps will rise. I know it’s the co2 because when I went on vacation for a week I watched hit almost 8. Iam a family of 3 along with 2 of each birds, dogs and cats. A frigin zoo. When I went on vacation the dogs and birds were not there just the cats. My son came every day to feed them and left. I found a thread which used the scrubber but hooked the intake to the skimmer cup. This seems to have limited the fluctuation and made the lime last longer. I will give it a try and report back. To readdress the subject what is the max fluctuation on the ph for a reef tank?
What temps do you run outside during August. We hit 90 plus everyday unless it rains for most of the day
