Managing PH in nano tank without skimmer. I am looking to help raise and stabilize the PH for my eco 13.5. With 2 people and 3 dogs in an apartment I know that the tanks ph is heavily being affected by everyone breathing. Unfortunately my tank is not near a window to where I can manage this without either a skimmer or scrubber. I have added a 24/7 Refugium which I know helps at night but I would like to keep levels elevated during the day as well. Would simply adding a co2 scrubber and pumping the air of the tank be enough? My thought process is that the OEM lid fits perfectly to where I don't even have to top off so by adding scrubbed air along with the upgraded sicce1.0 pump will help raise the ph.

Hello I had the same issue with my 32 biocube. I found my solution by using a co2 scrubber with a ozone generator air pump for volume. I used a manual air valve to fine tune the amount going into the tank. Finally I put an air stone in the main intake chamber pre filters. Before this my ph was 7.7 on a good day. Now I can get 8.2 to 8.4 all day.
