    well ever since i got my aqua c remore skimmer the algae has gone down considerable and i can actually see some of my rock work now!!!! very happy about this. only bad thing thats happened so far is my corals closed up for a while i think due to low Ph but i added some and there out more. does the skimmer affect the Ph?

    No, I think your issue might be from the GHA dieing off or you might need to air out your house to lower the CO2 inside.

    Air out your house? Huh? Congrats on beating the hair! I'm fighting it now so I know you must be on cloud 9.

    What he mean is open some windows in your house to let out CO2, this will help to raise your ph.
