Skimmer off while tank is fallow ?

[flobup]

should I turn my skimmer off while my tank is fallow and just let my refuge handle the nutrient export?

I would probably run it..... for no other reason than “I just would”

The protein skimmer is the sewerage treatment plant of the tank. You can run it, but don't expect it to produce much as there are no fish producing waste.

My suggestion would be to run it until you don't get any more skimmate. If there is nothing to take out there won't be anything in the collection cup.

ok, if I do turn it off should I run a smaller airpump in my sump for gas exchange ?
