so some people say put the skimmer before the fuge and you skim off some nutrients that the fuge would use, others say if you put the skimmer after the fuge you skim off some little critters.....
what are peoples opinions on this???

Both are true, it depends on what you want your fuge for, producing pods, or nitrate reduction. If you have a stand alone fuge not in line with a skimmer at all, you get both.
It's a picky point, i'm sure there's far better ways to get both desired outcomes than the fuge position. you can't assume that your skimmer is getting 100% of the water that flows past it in either scenario.
