Default zeovit and skimmer

How long should I turn off the skimmer when dose with zeovit.
I've turning it of for about 15 min, or should I not turn the skimmer off. My skimmer and reactor are in my sump side by side because of no room.

I stop my skimmer for 20 minutes when I dose ZeoBac only. Everything else I keep the skimmer on.

I only turn my skimmer off when I dose Snow once every 7 days for a couple of hours.

I might be wrong but I was always under the impression that half the point of Snow was to bind stuff and help it get gobbled up by the skimmer?

Leave the skimmer on when you're dosing Snow.
