How Much do you run your Skimmer

Hiya,
I used to do it 12 on/12 off until I figured out how to make the dang thing silent, now it's 24/7, except for an hour or two when I feed my corals.

This is one of the most one sided threads I have seen to date...So I'll give my two cents, mine is shut down maybe a 1/2 an hour a week just to do water changes, and about an hour every other week to clean and wipe down. and to cut down on the sound as I have a hang on on one of my tanks I put a pad on the rim under the overhang tube, cuts down on the vibration

Hiya,
I've got a prism...yeah, I know, it sucks, but I can't afford to set up my fuge. Not that I know HOW to do it.
Anyway, I plugged the air tube into the cup and it's almost silent now.
