CO2 Household Levels!!!!!!!!!

Just an FYI for those here that haven't noticed this yet, specially those with newer homes. If you do not have a unit that recycles air, you might want to exchange inside air for outside air via opening up windows and doors for a little while.

CO2 levels will begin to get really high with many dealing with the "Social Distancing" that is occurring. Personally I haven't had asthma for over 20 years and with being on lockdown, my asthma began to act up. So did the pH levels in my tanks.

Valuable public service announcement... I'm sure someone's corals just breathed a sigh of relief!

You'd be shocked at how some might not put two-and-two together. Might be wondering why they have higher dKH in their systems. Direct correlation to higher CO2 levels (and maybe increased nutrients as well)

Great time for a CO2 scrubber!! I actually ordered mine because we are renovating in the basement, and the tank has been encased in a plastic shield. It zips up on both sides for access, but I didn't want the tank to suffocate from both the plastic and all the extra bodies in the house. It has been doing a great job of maintaining and even increasing the PH of the tank through this process.

Outside air intake for the skimmer is the route I go since my tanks are in the basement.
