Using an outside/fresh air source for the skimmer can sometimes help depending what CO2 levels are like inside your house. There are also many other ways but it depends on what your define as "natural"

I use air from a small air pump and bubbler to my w/c water, it keeps the PH stable. I don't see why it wouldn't work in a tank. I would think your skimmer would do the same.
