Aquarium Advice Addict
I do a 12% PWC every week, use 1/4 cup GAC changed weekly, and I clean the collection cup on my Aqua-c at least one a week for the reason mentioned above.ahochan said:question to people who are feeding twice daily... how often/much do you do PVCs
I noticed that to be more of a problem on low-end skimmers. I always use aquarium gloves when handling/cleaning my skimmer cup. Besides skimmate being nasty stuff, oils from your hands will stop skimmate productuion if it gets on the riser tube of the collection cup. HTHWhen I clean out the collection cup, it seems to take a while before the skimming kicks in again.
