Absolutely, found this out buy only running skimmer part time. My skimmer is rate more than double my tank volume and while running 24/7 I only ever got murky water and found it hard to tune the skimmer. Now running at night my skimmate has become very dry and sludgy.
This may put me at a light bioload for skimmer but fully stocked for tank size
