Hey Blaster sorry to hear about your Low PH, what I have was i had the same problem, SO Bev on here told me abouit getting fresh air to tank. SO i ran a air line from the out side to the skimmer to suck in fresh air. My PH was at 7.9 too and then once that line was ran it went up to 8.1 so it worked for me. and my 120 gal has 2 windows in the same room too along with a ceiling fan. so i dont get that problem any more.

on a second note may be you should invest in a Kalk reactor to keep your PH up if the window job doesnt do the trick.

or is you dont want a reactor make up a 4 gal jug of kalk and drip it with a TEE to the ATO and that should help you out for a few days or longer depending on your evaporation demands...........
