PH and air vent (1 Viewer)

[jesusq]

Hello,

I have issue with my tank and the PH. I was told that the best way to maintain the ph is by ventilating the air and my home is completely sealed. I have a window right in back of my display tank. I wanted to know if there’s such an adapter that I can put on the window to allow ventilated air to enter and hit the tank without allowing bugs from coming in?

Also if it is low you need to determine the cause. It could be excess CO2 in the air but could also be other issues. Suggest reading this article: Low pH: Causes and Cures by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com

Did you ever figure something out? My house is sealed well too and it causes problems. 7.8 and I can get to 8.2 with a Seachem buffer but it doesn't stay like that fore more than a day, 2 tops. I placed a cup of tank water outside for a while and tested PH again and it was 8.1. So I'm eager to try something too.

i have a skimmer running which helps a little.
