Over Skimming...

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to overskim, and what are it's symptoms? I'm asking this because I'm thinking of an upgrade to skimming, and wondering if I got a larger skimmer (for the size of the tank) if there'd be detrimental effects.

Thanks,

The only detriment to overskimming will be your trace elements depleating slightly faster, youll also have less zoo's and planctons in the water column. But seen as having a bigger skimmer will allow you to feed more, id say its a step in the right direction. You could allways take a dryer skim if you wanted to throttle back.
