PraziPro And Skimmer?

[reefwisher]

When you use PraziPro do you shut your skimmer down during the treatment time or can you still keep it going?

You should turn it off. It would take out the prazipro from the water and it would go nuts anyway. What i do is keep it running but take off the cup. So it helps aerate the water and to make sure that if there's any flukes in the skimmer it gets killed too. Of course i can do that since the skimmer is in a large sump.

When in doubt, turn off the skimmer. Skimming is a long-term process and a short time with it off won't hurt anything.

When I last used Prazi-Pro, I kept the skimmer pump running, but took the collection cup up. That way, you get oxygenation and won't drop the pH, which is what happened to me when I totally turned off the skimmer.
