I have my my Aqua C EV240 skimmer on a timer cycling on 4 hours and off 4 hours in an efford import the benefits of my eco system type filter into my 125 gal reef tank. Should I just keep the skimmer on 24/7 also?
If you switch them off you'll be losing alot of ot's potential, every time you switch them on it takes a while for them to get going and build up foam.
Donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t forget the eco system is not supposed to need a skimmer to be effective because a skimmer can remove the nutrients it provides for the system. That being said, I understand the benefits of a skimmer and the 4 hours off and 4 hours on will not allow for effective skimming. Maybe you could try a longer period, 24/24 or 2days/2days.
