Rehype Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just wanted to give you a guys an update. I recently put my skimmer back online because of some issues i was having with my PH. Asureef made me aware of how low my PH was dipping at night. Im not sure why i hadnt noticed before but my PH was dropping as low as 7.50 at night which is totally unacceptable. So i did some investigating and long story short found out my tank had to much Co2 which causes low PH. I initially tried just opening the windows which helped considerably but whenever i closed the windows PH would drop uncomfortably low at night. So i decided to put the skimmer back online and invest in a Co2 scrubber which is connected to the air intake of my skimmer. Since installing the scrubber my PH hasnt dropped below 8. One of the effects of adding a Co2 scrubber is a larger production of skimmate which i noticed immediately. I also redid the center chamber of my sump with a deep sand bed and mangroves(for giga ) lit by a Innovative marine skkyle led. Updated sump shot Link to comment
Rehype Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 thats sick hype. Thanks man. The higher and stable PH should result in faster SPS growth...at least thats what im hoping for. Link to comment
JR! Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 o hey you had a midas blenny right? i was wondering how it would act with the talbot that i have Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hype, have you considered simply running an airstone in the fuge section at night to mitigate the C02 increase? I've considered it myself just because of the benefits of aerating the water column. The only reason I say this is because I am thoroughly convinced of the benefits to the microfauna of going skimmerless. Good luck! Link to comment
Rehype Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 o hey you had a midas blenny right? i was wondering how it would act with the talbot that i have You shouldnt have a problem as they mostly ignore one another. Hype, have you considered simply running an airstone in the fuge section at night to mitigate the C02 increase? I've considered it myself just because of the benefits of aerating the water column. The only reason I say this is because I am thoroughly convinced of the benefits to the microfauna of going skimmerless. Good luck! I tried it but the problem is the air pump is still pulling in air filled with Co2 especially if the pump intake isnt pulling air directly from outside... As a result it didnt make a difference at all. I agree with you about the benefits of running skimmerless although i cant say i saw a difference in my corals coloration or growth while it was offline. Link to comment

You know it's one thing to have a series of indicators or read outs from your tank, quite another to research it to get to the bottom of it and then fix it. Hats off to you. With my recent discovery of phosphates I am re-thinking the skimmer as well. Link to comment
Rehype Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Me too and no need to ship. hehehehe. Ill put you down for one as well You know it's one thing to have a series of indicators or read outs from your tank, quite another to research it to get to the bottom of it and then fix it. Hats off to you. With my recent discovery of phosphates I am re-thinking the skimmer as well. Thanks kat. I tried a couple of things before deciding on a Co2 scrubber. Ventilation,Reverse lighting schedule,air pump and changing my dosing schedule to coincide with the nightly drop but none of which has worked as amazingly as the Co2 scrubber. Im happy to have the skimmer back online because i was noticing more algae because of the extra organics not to mention its just great to have a security blanket. Link to comment
