I think it depends on WHAT you are feeding... For instance... When I feed mysis, I turn the pumps and powerheads off so food gets down to all the critters, but when I feed BBS, I leave powerheads on and just shut off the skimmer (sumpless) so that the BBS is always moving around, not just sitting up at the top where the light is.

I run everything 24/7. I don't even bother to shut my skimmer down to clean the collection cup, dial it back pull the cup and off I go.
