![]() In 2006 I went away for a week and had my room mate look after my tank. He accidentally bumped the dial on my CO2 regulator and dumped the full 20 lbs cylinder into my reactor/aquarium/basement. It nearly killed everything and probably would have if I hadn't gotten home in time. From that day forward I monitor/control the pH in my aquarium and reactor. I also found someone else to look after things when I go away.
Sorry for the hijack.

![]() I am putting a very long hose to connected to my skimmer valve and go straight to my small air vent in my bedroom 24hrs. I am also planning to put a big blanket to cover up my small refugium so the light is left on the whole night to control the PH swing. I really don't like the way it has changed too much from 8.3 down to 7.5 in the early morning.
Thanks for your inputs, guys. I hope I can find the solution to deal with this problem. |

![]() Be careful when covering your tank, you can actually increase the Co2 levels as the cover inhibits the exchange of gases.

![]() Thanks for reminding me. I will try tonight and test it again tomorrow let see what happens. If it is not working I will just have to live with it as reefwars and everyone else has told me just to leave it alone.
