Moving skimmers air line outside
Battling pH issues with my tank being in the basement. Anyone have any guesses how much my pH will increase if I run my skimmers air line outside?

no....it is different for every situation
do this drill and it will tell you...... 1. Measure the PH of your tank water 2. Take a glass of tankwater and stir it violently for a minute in the same room as the tank and then test the PH 3. Take another glass of tankwater outside, stir it violently for a minute and then test the ph. the results will isolate your low ph issue to poor surface exchange, your air inside your house or a combination of both.
