Great job on the OutSide Airline. The Creepy Crawler filter is a good idea. I did the same..
You will enjoy the improvement in PH.
It won't be much, but over time you will see some impact.
It is a bit odd that you didn't notice an quick spike right away. I did, then it petered out over time.
This is what happen right after I installed my Fresh Air connection.
It could be that your PH is as good as it can be (with Dosing), and CO2 not so bad in your place.
One thing to test is go to the outside opening and you should be able to plug the end and skimmer should react. (As a a vaccum builds up)
If not you have a leak. Doubt it (Since you did a really good solid install) but you never know.
I discovered a leak not in the Main Line to outside, it was in the Line connecting to skimmer to the the outside run.
If you want to really get an improvement with CO2/PH improvement, you could consider a CO2 Scrubber.
I tried and got this kind of extra improvment (with Outside airline feeding the Scrubber).
Feeding Outside air extends the Media life, over cleaning CO2 Inside air, but not much.
But the Media Burns off super fast and is just too expensive.
I gave up on the idea.
