Red Sea max nano cube question

[toosmoose]

Hello everyone,

I had a question about maintenance. How often is everyone fully breaking down the protein skimmer and pump in order to clean those? Should those items be routinely cleaned on a schedule? If so, then how often? Thank you!

I have a Red Sea max nano cube. The aquarium is 5 months old and doing very well. It’s predominately soft and LPS corals.

Its up to you, some do it weekly or monthly on a regular schedule, some do it only when the machine fails from being so dirty.

Personally myself, I try to clean my skimmer every 4-5- months, basically twice a year. My pumps and powerheads and gyres I usually do every 3 months.
