Thinking of taking my skimmer off line doesn’t pull much skim mate out

50g total water
Temp 77-79
Alk 7.0-7.3
Cal 440
Mag 1600 coming down naturally
Phos .05
Nitrate 0 working on getting it around 2ppm

Using brs 2 part and dripping kalk 24/7


Have a big. Ball of chaeto reverse light cycle of my DT only reason I have my skimmer plugged in so that it oxygenates the water since. Don’t pull much skim mate wondering if I use a air pump and a few wood stones would oxygenate the water the same way as the skimmer anyone have any input on this?
 
I would clean my protein skimmer. clean the air line and the volute to get it back to operations. That is what I would do.
