pH of my limewater is 12.3 to 12.5. I've never heard of" increasing limewater with fans" what is this?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. You increase the evaporation from the main tank so you can add more limewater each day to replace the evaporated water.

Sure it helps. Whether it is enough of a solution depends on how bad the CO2 problem is.

Do I even need a CR if I am using limewater?

That depends on the tank. Limewater is all that I use, but if you have a lot of fast calcifying corals, you may need more.
