Default Skim With Zeo?

Should one be turning the skimmer off when dosing with Zeo additives? And has there been a difference either way and if turning off skimming, well for how long?

I run the full lineup and don't turn the skimmer off.

You can turn it off for about 1 hour if you wish, some do this, some don't.

Hi,

Been running Zeovit for over a year, I only turn off the skimmer when I dose ZeoZym, usually off for two hours. all other additives I leave the skimmer on.
