Got my windows and canopy open for my annual air out and pH drop. Anyone else airin' it out?

3 doors, 4 windows and the sump doors open for me.

excellent idea...be right back.

airing it out is like grilling to me- I do it whenever I can.

Gotta love the pH boost!

you guys have awesome systems..Am I doing something wrong with having fresh air around my tank and sump all the time??

 

[Capt_Cully]

Don't think so. Its just, for me, when spring has sprung and the windows are open, you'll see it reflected in your pH is all. If you have open air circulating all the time, you won't have the build up of CO2 like us shut-ins.

jump from 8.05 to 8.29 after opening the windows yesterday. Life is good!

Put the screen back into the front door (which is right next to the tank) and have had the door open the last couple of days. I really need a pH boost!

ditto on the screens throughout the house...with all the fresh air....sleeping felt like camping outdoors....soooooooooooooooooooo nice.

definitely not- fresh air (low CO2 levels) are desirable around reef aquaria.
