I thought this was a good example of the effect of indoor CO2 on pH:

Left side: Nobody home during holiday travel
Right side: My wife and I return from traveling

I've seen the same. First time we went out of town for a weekend after getting my Apex, I thought my Alk was being overdosed because pH shot up, then I realized what the real cause was.

I tried last week to run an air line outside, but I can't without some major drilling and holes in the closed behind the tank. Not sure my wife would be too happy with me for that. So I'll be trying the soda lime method soon.

Guess when we were gone...

Hummm. I don't have that option neither. I haven't updates the APEX so probably it is on the new firmware. What firmware are you at???

Can somebody confirm???

Maybe this way:
Click "Expand"

Click inputs:

Then select the pH probe (might be named differently on older Apex)

It is definitive that I don't have the same version but it is weird because seems like an option of Fusion and the update replicates to all as equal.

If I go the expand o don't have the input option.

Do you have the now Classic Apex or Apex 2016? That's the Apex 2016 options.

Mine is the Classic.
Yes, you will not have those options. That is for the new 2016 Apex. Their local interface and fusion are now one and the same. With the classic the local web interface is entirely different looking and still required to do many things like configuring input devices.
