Gouldian Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't turn on skimmer during feed or adding additives. However, I will off my pumps when feeding corals or clams.

sheristopher Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 This is the confusion part. The instruction of adding addictive suggested to turn off skimmer/filtration. This make me wonder whether letting skimmer on will make the addictives non effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtecintegra Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Liquid additives I always added in the sump after the skimmer leaving it on. Any food, I turn off the main return pump and let the food circulate in the tank until eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
