What's everyone doing to keep the air quality of air from outside to the skimmer? This past week I added another media reactor with carbon to help filter out the smoke from the wild fires. In Canada. Although in in Iowa. They advised us to limit going outside for long periods of time. So if it's not good for humans it's not good or my fish.

When heavy fire smoke hits us here, I disconnect the outside airline from the skimmer and just use indoor air and CO2 absorber.

I just use a CO2 scrubber attached to my skimmer, but if I did pull from outside I would shut it down for now. I am currently in the danger zone ATM.
