I would never dump the skimmate that gets pulled out of the water back into the tank. Just shows that its undesirable. A skimmer is just another sort of filtration that most people would recommend, even for sofies and LPS that likes dirtier water. Shop around and get some reviews Also don't worry when you do get one and it doesn't work for a few days (or weeks). Just needs to get oils off and "break in"
