So.....it appears that it was all the fresh air along with the skimmer intake being on the first floor is what so dramatically effected my PH. If fell again yesterday after the house was closed up, but not as low as it usually does. So....I got a little extreme today, wasn't feeling the best so I took the day off work, and came up with a plan to get it outside. Seeing I live in a brick home, getting a hole outside isn't the easiest thing in the world. Our sliding doors are vinyl/plastic, and when fully open there is still a space at the back to work with. So I got the drill out and vented my skimmer through the non sliding part of the sliding door. My wife won't be happy about it, but it's hidden by the kids toy box and the drapes. So...lets see what having the skimmer vented outside full time will do.
I sometimes wonder how far will a reefer go to make sure his/her tank is healthy................
