Greetings of the Day,

this is my first post in these forum and am new here but have been looking around the post here since a year now and m pretty impressed with many threads and tanks here

talking about my tank
my tank is LPS dominated and have reef octopus skimmer

water change schedule is ever alternate day i change 20 Ltrs of water

for feeding i feed mix of many food and target feed all my corals every day
the food includes Coral Frenzy pellets, coral frenzy food, reef chilli, zoo plan, reef roid, cyclopezee, fauna marine pellets and few more
i also feed reef booster from prodibio every 15 days

zoo my problem is
when every i feed my corals my skimmer stops skimming for few hours

is it normal ? or do i need to change something ??

thanks in advance
 
Yes, it is perfectly normal. Anytime anything is added to the water, the skimmer will either stop skimming or overflow. It will correct itself.
