    Dosing Questions? (Time)

    Hey guys well i am on my 3rd week so far and am wondering about when to do,

    i mean is it better to dose when the lights are off? basically i am tlakign abotu the bak/food7 i could do it at like 6:30 when i get up and leave the skimmer off for an hour before i go to school and then turn the ksimmer back on right before i leave at 7:30

    or dose it not matter? i figured that the bacteria woudl be out more since its dark?

    also on this start thing, i dose 1ml 3 times a day but only sut my skimmer off for 1 of those doses, does it really matter to shut your skimmer off for 1 hour after you dose start? i could probabaly shut it down for 2 times and dose start but for 1 time the skimmer would still have to be on? let me know what you think.

    thanks!

    From what I hear you do not have to turn your skimmer off when you dose start, only food and bac.

        yeah i knew that about not turning your skimmer off, but dose it provide an additonal benefit if you do shut down your skimmer when you dose start? or can you not tell the difference?

        what do you think about when to dose the bak and food? you think when its dark?

        thanks!

          I've had tremendous success dosing @ 3:00 - 4:00 A.M. I think the bacteriological processes[s] are at a heightened level of dormancy during this time frames.
