I know that probably most reefers run their skimmers 24/7 but if you were to turn off your skimmer for a couple of hours a day because of nutrients bottoming out for example, would it be better to do it during the day or night? Or does it even matter? TIA
 
What kind of skimmer do you have? Mine is always on 24/7 as I have a CO2 scrubber attached. I tune my Nyos 120 for dry if I want more nutrients .
