I have recently started to have an algae outbreak after having my tank set up for over a year. I tested the water for everything and it was all ok. Then i tested my RO/DI water i was using for top off and it read 001 so that was perfect too. I am in the process of making water to do a water...

I was just wondering if everyone runs thier skimmer for 24 hours? I was thinking of having it on a timer because i dont see the purpose of having it going for 24 hours. I would just think for the time that its on it would gather more "gunk", but overall the amount collected would be the same...
