So I’ve had my skimmer off for just over 24 hours, I noticed my p04 rised a little and my nitrate actually went down. I did notice extreme PE this morning when the lights started to come on so the Cora’s are definitely responding. I’m keep my “refugiun” going and just going to let the skimmer stay off until the n03 raised to 1-2 ppm and stays there and then maybe I’ll go back to part time skimming but it’s my understanding this is the true paletta method? I have all macro and miracle mud in my sump and no skimmer running.
I'm actually trying to rise my Po4 and No3 also since I have undetectable values for both of them... I'm actually thinking about switch off my skimmer but I don't know when and for how much time I need to turn it off? Should I switch off for 24h non stop and then switch on for 24h etc... or should I switch it off from 2 hours and then switch on for 2 hours etc..?
Could be interesting to share our experiences to know how it can evolve
Thanks
