Running Line to Outside with Air Stone Powered Skimmer

[Adamantium]

Hi all,

My pH runs consistently low, like between 7.6 and 7.8. The thing is, it's a nano AIO (more or less, it's a 40 breeder) so I don't have a regular skimmer. I have the reef glass nano, which is air pump driven, with a wooden airstone. Does anyone know how I could hook up a line to the outside with a Tetra air pump driving the skimmer?

Thanks!

You will have better luck with Inline air pump, because you can run a line outside with the pump inside. They come in various sizes.

Dang, that’s quite a jump from the $20 Tetra air pump. I’ll look around a bit, though. Thanks!

Can you put the pump outside, protected from rain?

They come in various sizes / prices and DANG it works

Hmmm, that’s a good idea, but I’m not sure where I could do so. I’ll look around. Thanks!

No kidding? I’m not seeing many that can draw air from outside.
