| Fair cop Vina .... we all have different methods, and I agree, I run a fairly wet skim myself. I think was just trying to say, you could overskim your tank, For example, my skimmer is rated upto 800 gallons and my LFS has the same skimmer running a system of 1200 gallons .... My tank is only 180 Gallons so I have to be careful not to pull EVERYTHING out of the water. Infact, every 48 hours I turn my skimmer off for an evening, say 4-6 hours and heavily feed the filter feeders with Phyto, Rotifers, Marine snow etc. I don't want the skimmer pulling it out as quicly as I put it in. LOL .... that would be a waste of money
