Took me a while to tune skimmer to perfection, so rather than turn down efficiency I'll put in on Controller to turn it off for a few hours during night.
Also I'll increase feeding to see if I can wake up the skimmer more. Or at least enough that the Snails and Cowrie can't keep up with their Scrubber Scrubbing.

This is my experience.
I do have a Sump Sock, but it's under the water level under Tank Return Flow to capture only large particulate.
Reason for submberged Sock is I want live copepods, etc to have chance to escape. I just recently removed the bit a Active Carbon I had to see if it also helps Scrubber kick in. Nothing else.
