I never turn anything off when feeding my phyto. I have heard others say that they turn off the
skimmers and pumps, I just never have. I think I will start shutting down the
skimmer and pumps during that time and see if I notice any change.
Amp, you bring up a good point abouth the "quiet period" . I think I will program my controller to shut my powerheads off for about 45 minutes of so every day.
