So whats your take on this subject?

[omgsaltwat]

I was reading about my skimmer that you can do wet skimming or dry skimming. Which do you think is better and Why?Which will remove the most junk?

imo right in the middle
I dont want my skimmer draining too much of my tank water, and I don't want it so dry that it barely rises over into the cup

 

[reefnut]

I run mine wet... IME wet skimming does a better job of nutrient removal in my tank.

Wet skimming removes more gunk. I run mine pretty wet.

 

[lion_crazz]

I would agree with wet as well.

 

[keith burn]

wet is for me

 

[ejensen]

I would do dry.

 

[jakebtc]

the main reason I said what I said is because I only have a 13-15 gallon ro top off supply tat I check or fill once a week
if I had more water filtered to replenish or a bigger size tank "about 80 gal w/ sump" I would skim more wet

 

[my way]

My opinion is more to the dry side, just make sure to keep the skimmer clean. Wet skimming will pull out more if you don't keep your skimmer clean. If you keep it clean dry skimming is just as effective without wasting water from the tank. Why have to empty the collection cup every day if you don't need to?
