I will have to track the pH to see if there is any swing through the day. Still trying to get the dKh up, so there might be a bit of a swing yet, but running the light during the day would be nice.

The skimmer is in a sump, chamber 2 in the back of the tank. Raising and lowering was my first trial, but I did not see a lot of difference. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the larger the flow through return, the drier the skimmate. I will have to look for that reference again.

Thanks for the input.
