Hi everyone. I am treating my tank with formalin and malchite green and i turned off my protein skimmer. Can I turn it back on or do I have to wait until treatment is done?

Ive not heard of you needing to turn off the protein skimmer for medicaiton. Only to remove Carbon from the system so it does not absorb it.

What are you using formalin and malchite green for? Im a tad bit unfamiliar with the two. Is it to treat a fish disease?
