It helps increase the ph. If your house is sealed up tight carbon dioxide builds up, moving the line outside allows fresh air to get to the tank.

Up here in buffalo we don't do that ever. We don't spray our lawns either. But I am going to try and think up of some kind of air scrubber to add in the line before summer.

I pulled all the dead corals out of my tank from the algae bloom/crash. Then restacked LR for a more desired look. In a couple of months I will start the restock process. Cool thing about crashing your tank you get to redo the things you didn't like.
I keep staring at my JBJ and I have the materials to start it up but I don't have a mini skimmer. I have a lot of black sand and rocks for it.

Did some work on my tank and the wife's:
My 60 gallon rimless, 15 gallon water change, switched from GFO and carbon in bags to separate reactors.
Wife's 7 gallon rimless cube, 2 gallon water change added 1/4 cup GFO in a bag.

Changed the filter floss and agitated the bags of purigen and chemi-pure in the media baskets
And refilled the ato container
Also added two new zoa frags. See a new branch starting to grow on the frogspawn and one of the heads on my candy cane looks like it's starting to split!!!

Did you ever narrow down what caused the crash?

Well lets see, added top off. Full round of tests. Except phosfate. Furan-2 treatment on 3 zoa frags, uprighted 3 star snails, went to get 25gals of r.o. (heavy). Hung my outlets out of the way.Turned my overflow down pipe to face the rear. Found my new little yellow watchman inside the inner chamber of my skimmer! So... detail cleaned my skimmer and retrieved my goby. Fed my dwarf seahorse twice.
Tests nitrite=0, ammonia=0, nitrate=0, temp=80.9, ph=8.1, salinity=1.026, calcium=435, mag.=1400, and alk=9.8. :-D
Happy to report my goby is fine and the pox are receding.
