Too many???

I am not saying he will run it without a skimmer but it is when the skimmer is unplugged or during power outage etc...if the skimmer pump fails, then it is when the problem happen.

Usually by having a skimmer which oxygenate the water extra well, that allow us to top the bioload to a maximum that would not be possible without this equipement. When the equipment fails, watch out. Recently I have seen to identical story about the skimmer being unplugged for some reason, or out for some reason and most fish died in both cases where the bioload was to much.
