Last Saturday night I added a CO2 scrubber (mainly to try to silence the skimmer air intake), but now I'm not so sure if I need it.
After connecting it to the skimmer my PH went sky high to 8.60 which it is normally between 8.10 and 8.25. I definitely need to do a PH sensor calibration check before I can do another test.
I'm now doubting if the high PH, and subsequently, the lower CO2 levels in the water are limiting a) coral growth and b) the effectiveness of my chaeto reactor. So for now I removed it again which you can see directly in the APEX log.
