I have noticed my PH being lower as of late and assume its either low oxygen levels or my probe needs calibration. I think what they say is its best to get the majority of the "mulm" out to raise the level of dissolved oxygen as the bacteria on in the mulm is using it up which is why u are supposed to put the out put of your reactor in front of the skimmer. Also a better skimmer will oxygenate the water more effectively.
