I dont turn off my skimmer.

I dose mine in the mid of the day, or when ever i do my daily tank routine, sometimes i add a few drops of CV when the lights are out. But thats just me trying to be nice to my corals

No need to turn off your skimmer. I like to dose in the am before the lights come on.

Coral Vitalizer
The new Coralfood Concentrate contains both liquid and solid elements, providing food to SPS corals as well as several soft corals. Does not increase PO4 or NO3. First results can be seen after 7 – 10 days. When the corals are used to the feeding you will notice increased polyp expansion, e.g. of Acropora are fully extended even during the light period.
