[sheristopher]

Hi All,

I would like to know is there a need to turn off skimmer when adding various reef addictive? also when feeding like oyster feast etc?

I don't turn on skimmer during feed or adding additives.

However, I will off my pumps when feeding corals or clams.

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.

well, i suggest u read the instuction n follow... im using brighwell products only microbacteria dosing requires skimmers to be off

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.
