Just curious, did the PH in your tank raise ?

soda lime
 

add a bunch of this into a reactor in line with your protein skimmer air intake...


on the 18th the soda lime was all used up,, you can see the huge dip,, replaced it that evening..

So far my tank his holding at 7.7ph that being said my lights have not turned on yet. It was dead stable at 7.69-7.7 all night

The effluent is staying around 7.56-7.6 Which is a huge increase.

Outputting the drip Ito the skimmer would probably negate the need for the air pump. So may look into this later. Although you would loose the settling cup advantage but it may be worth it to cleanup crap building up in my sump!

Later I may try removing the second chamber and dropping from single chamber into the cup to see how much PH I loose

Either way interesting experiments. I'm excited to check back tonight and see how the tank does once the lights are on for a few hours.

I also have been tweaking my co2 output this morning to keep it more stable in the reactor rather than fully relying on the solenoid to constantly turn it on and ofd
