Skimmer got Punk'd by some Mysis

[john.m.cole3]

Is there a way to feed and not have your skimmer not skim for a few hours. My skimmer is a bit over-sized is ny first problem. But when I'm not feeding it pulls our some major stinky and chunky stuff.

Has anyone figured out how to feed AND keep your skimmer working???

A digital timer on skimmer or controller?

You know I've actually had my skimmer do the same thing. It's only with one type of food that I use. They other types my skimmer keeps humming right along.

I would say it loses its foam head longer when feeding PE mysis. It does it w. rods food also, but not for quite as long. I'm talking 2 or 3 hours.

Yep it's pretty common actually. Same with the pe mysis.

I don't get it with hikari..... spelling??

the PE mysis pellets?

I use all frozen foods. No pellets.

I originally commented thinking you were using the PE frozen mysis.

I've had skimmer issues when I've used it. I don't worry about it really .

The hikari frozen has never been an issue. [emoji4]
