Dosing Skimmate - Are we over skimming?

[mike31154]

Well I'm no pro but have been in the hobby long enough that I thought I've seen & read about everything! Who comes up with this stuff? Really? I run an old school wooden air diffuser skimmer & it works fine. Dumping any of that stuff back in the tank makes no sense no matter what flavour of tank you're running. I understand some folks actually dump perfectly drinkable vodka into their fish tanks..... carbon dosing eh?

BTW, I'm in the midst of having one too many brandies after dinner, so my ruminations may be somewhat whacko. Still, green slimy goo back in the tank?
