24/7
mine is a beckett that runs 24/7. it skims at about 1600 gph through an iwaki70. Looking at the stuff being pulled out on a daily basis self-justifies my decision for skimming 24/7.
My theory is waste is being generated 24/7 so why should skimming be part-time?
i also feel that it helps to saturate my oxygen levels in my tanks day and night.
On the other hand, my hydro bill is killing me...... although now i'm looking to set up another 120g tank in line with my current existing..... isn't there a tread somewhere about some people shooting themselves in the foot........ (is there an smilies icon where the smilies shoots himself in the head??)
