Okay... looking for some help. I have been chasing my PH numbers for a couple weeks now. Right now my PH is 7.7. I have a C02 scrubber on the skimmer. I have been buffering the PH. Cal is 420, ALK is 11.1

I just moved my gyros up to stir up the surface. The AC is on in the house.have you a lot of surface movement and is the room the tank is in aired well?

I think its recirculated. Would a fan on the sump help?does the ac introduce fresh air into the room, fresh air has a big impact on Ph.

Opened the windows in the house and now the PH went up to 7.8. Looks like the AC is the issue. I obviously can not replace the central air but I was thinking about adding a window fan that would flood the room with fresh outside air. Thoughts?There's not much more you can do without freshening the room air, besides a scrubber on a skimmer inlet and high pH alk additives.

The skimmer is attached to a CO2 scrubber. The PH was stable until I put the Nyos skimmer on it. The new skimmer replaced a reef octopus. Any idea what side the airline goes on for the two little fishes reactor. Right now the line is on the output.that would be ideal, another option that would not be as good as your plan would be to run a air line from the outside to the skimmer, airing the room would probably work better, but may cost you more in ac etc

I have not. I maintain the ALK and CAL with individual dosing pumps.have you tried dosing kalkwasser
Kalkwasser is a great way to raise your pH.I have not. I maintain the ALK and CAL with individual dosing pumps.
Yep. That’s what my LFS had me do. Same reading. I also used a Red Sea test kit and it reads the same as the probe.How do you check your PH ? If its a meter, I would recalibrate and check if the reading are correct..
