A Co2 scrubber will restrict some air flow, it restricted my air draw by at least 30%. You will just have to adjust to compensate.

Give it time. It'll build up.

Then, if you end up installing a valve to bypass the scrubber, controlled by a pH monitor, it's even more fun, since you have to have the skimmer working properly, but not suddenly overflowing when the valve opens or closes.
