I have 2 questions which has been bothering me for a while and I was hoping someone can help me. I have a 90 gallon tank that has a 6” DSB that’s been running for 6 yrs. and is pretty mature with a lot of life in it with worms, snails, asterinas and a Sea Cucumber. My refugium is 30 gallons with two filter socks, a skimmer, miracle mud and some Chaeto which is growing with a Zetlight LED light.
My question is with my type of set up do I need to run my skimmer every night, every other night or never. I’ve read so many different thing about skimmers with running them and not running them. Y y
Now if I put on my skimmer it will foam over night with no problem and produce a 1/4” cup. My other question is does my Chaeto need what I’m skimming in order to grow with the phos. and Nitrates.
The Chaeto has a lot of life with Copods and worms but it really doesn’t grow grow like it should.
