recommended to on it 24/7.

let them skim as much junk out as possible.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

I turn off my skimmer for 1 hr every 1 or 2 weeks. Seems to skim better after i turn it on back.

Well I read somewhere that this is done weekly in order to dissolve any salt particles or dust that may have accumulated in the air inlet.

It works for me. :)

Hi all

Is it need to run the skimmer 24/7?

yes you need to run the skimmer 24/7.. but of cos you'll switch it off when you're doing your maintainence and all.. but it should run constantly otherwise.. =]

A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...
