![]() Would it not make sense just to dose amino acids and cv.
Skimmate would not be consistent at all |

![]() don't want to use a timer as your skimmer is adding O2 to your water also. people have had mysterious fish deaths and discovered it was due to the O2 levels dropping when there skimmer was off at night.

![]() I'm with the naysayers. I would never dump that back into the tank. I get how It could feed your corals but like Aquatro wrote, what about "toxicity concerns"?
When we "feed" at least we know we are not dumping anything toxic in the water. As for turning the skimmer on / off. Don't do it. That will only cause pump issues and as some stated, I would be concerned about oxygen. Bugger! Thankfully you're secret is not solid dosing LOL |

![]() Well I'm no pro but have been in the hobby long enough that I thought I've seen & read about everything! Who comes up with this stuff? Really? I run an old school wooden air diffuser skimmer & it works fine. Dumping any of that stuff back in the tank makes no sense no matter what flavour of tank you're running. I understand some folks actually dump perfectly drinkable vodka into their fish tanks..... carbon dosing eh?
BTW, I'm in the midst of having one too many brandies after dinner, so my ruminations may be somewhat whacko. Still, green slimy goo back in the tank?
