Protien Skimmer
Just curious as to how many people run their skimmers 24/7? I was wondering if i could have my skimmer turn off for a few hours during the night to allow for my corals to feed? I usually feed after the lights go off and the moon lights come on. This allows the corals to feed better- i think- and the fish USUALLY leave them alone. Wondering if this sounds like a good plan?
Thanks inadvance Mike |

Most people run 24/7 but if you could turn off for a couple of hours while you feed. Put it on a timer

i never switch mine off, except to clean it, imo leave it on 24-7, feeding wont be effected, ive never seen any problems leaving the skimmer on when feeding,some folk do as mentioned above, i wouldnt, we all do things differently admittedly, but it makes no sence to me
