Adding addictives


Recommended Posts

hello,

would like to find out whether to turn off protein skimmers when adding addictives like trace elements, stronium, clacium, carbonate and iodide.

if you bros do turn off your protein skimmers, how long do u leave it off? will that increase huge amount of ammonia and nitrite?

:thanks:

Brother....I doubt anybody does that!?.....for me I dont.....I add dkh buffer, magnesium buffer, Kalwasser and Calcium dosing with my PS running......

Even if you are feeding your corals with DT, you can still run your skimmer (as stated on the instruction)........but then some people will off the skimmer for a couple of hours while feeding DT..... :lol:

so i guess offing the protein skimmer is 'leh-chay'

just afraid that the nutrients will get skimmed away.

hey, don't worry about it ;) i guess it shouldn't be a problem if you just leave your skimmer on.

me add only ca, kh, kalk and do weekly change to restore the trace elements :) less problem with algae and corals grow big, big :lol:
