Should I cut my photo period on my reactor?

My reactor comes on at 20:00 and runs to next day 11:00 when my lights turn on.

Have you tried running a soda lime reactor off of your skimmer? I had the same issue since my tank sits in the basement. Made an unbelievable difference for nothing more than the cost of the reactor and media.
