I would think running the scrubber at night and bypassing during the day would be the way to go. pH rises when running the scrubber, so running at night would counter act the usual drop in pH that happens.

Curious what skimmer you're running. I'm about to start scrubbing and wonder how long the media will last.

Default yep

running it during the day does help out a lot in raising the pH...
Like I said my tank is really stubborn whne it comes top the pH... I've peaked at the low 8.20's lately..

I have three of the regular filter housing from my old RODI system. Might hve to look into building one too as I also have slightly lowered ph due to the co from my reactor.
