How many of you have encountered a hermit crawling on the silicone all the way up the tank?

Mine do it regularly:lol:

 

[theaquareef]

Yeah I seriously see mine climbing the silicone all the time for some reason haha.

I need some advice, for a while now ive been thinking that my skimmer isnt as efficient as most other ones. Reading up on threads of venturi skimmers ive noticed that those that have gone with them never regret the decision to buy one.

My skimmer is made by LifeReef, it is this one shown:

That photo isnt mine but it is a good representation of what mine looks like. Wider neck, Eheim 1262 pump, now to my question.
*
Has anyone encountered where their skimmer actually did more harm than good?
Ive been hearing that running it maybe in certain intervals would/may help out the tanks stability.*
*
Also what does everyone feed their tank? I just feed pellet to the fish since my coral stock is just mostly softies. For those with radions, have any of you turned off the green in your light fixture? Ive read on RC that someone had to do that because of algae blooms.
*
Oh look at what I found?

Not sure about that skimmer, but look into CAD lights skimmers. I just bought a PLS 100 for a 75 gallon frag system and it's working great right out of the box. It's tiny and silent, too.

So I'm getting out of the hobby guise. For a while at least. Planning to buy a bigger house, pay bills, etc, wish me luck!
