| Re: Over Skimming
Having a skimmer that can over skim is a great asset to have. Its much harder to export nutrient and its easy to add more so as you can see, having this option is a huge benefit.
Your chaeto will suffer for a little while but it will recover so I wouldn't worry too much, after all the reason we grow cheato is to export nutrient right ? so the less cheato grows the better your tank is IMO but chaeto will grow once its recovered from lower nutrient that your skimmer is taking out of the system. If you are growing zoas lps and softies then you want a little more nutrient in your tank, but if you are doing sps then you want less, so its depending on what animals you are keeping. But personally, I think a nutrient poor system is much better in the long run so I would rather over skim and direct feed the animals this way I know for sure that my water quality is good so my system is not susceptable to tank crashes
