I fed my fish last night and I turned off the pumps so the skimmer
wouldn't suck up the food. Well...I forgot to turn it back on. This
morning my angel was laying on her side on the bottom breathing. I
checked the water and it was fine but I went ahead and did a change
anyway. The Angel is swimming around now but I wonder if I caused any
other damage? From now on I'm only going to turn the skimmer off at
feeding.

For a small fee I can make you an electronic timer for your
skimmer pump which will prevent this happening again :-)
You just set the time the pump needs to be off for, let's
say 15 minutes and it will turn itself back on automatically
after the given time lapse :-) What do you think about this idea? ;-)

What would be better is one I turn off but comes back on in three minutes.
But I think as long as I leave the motor-head and canister on I'll be OK.

I've got all my lights on timers.

I just check the angel and she seems just fine now. Quite a scare. Brought
back memories of when my wife was taking care of the tanks.

Thanks.
