My nitrates have zero'd out and some of my corals are not growing as well as they did when my nitrates were 5-10 ppm. I run my protein skimmer 24/7 and my chaeto light is only on 4 hours a night. I was wondering if there would be any negative effects if I turn my protein skimmer off a few hours a day to help increase my nitrates? I am mainly worried that my ammonium might spike.
Thanks!
