Just a question. I have an eshopps in sump skimmer. Should I turn the skimmer off when I empty the collection cup? Also, if I don’t and it foams over into the sump will it hurt anything for a few minutes while cleaning cup?

YepIt won’t hurt anything. I wouldn’t worry about it
That pad isn’t necessary. The biggest benefit of it is to provide more surface area for nitrifying bacteria to grow on.I’m new to sumps. What about the foam pad right before the return pump. Should I remove it. I know a lot of people do not like any foam in tanks or sump. When it gets dirty it slows flow to return pump chamber. Any advantage or disadvantages for it
